Crimson Cliffs Middle consistently outperforms the Washington District and the state of Utah in standardized test scores across all subjects (English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science) for both 8th and 9th grade students. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Crimson Cliffs Middle had 70% of 8th graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to 51.3% for the district and 42.6% for the state. The school also has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (12.99% in 2022-2023), compared to nearby schools like Dixie Middle (38.88%) and Pine View Middle (39.15%), which have significantly higher rates.

Crimson Cliffs Middle has a lower student-teacher ratio (23.7 in 2022-2023) compared to Dixie Middle (25.0) and a higher ratio compared to Pine View Middle (22.1). The school's consistent academic excellence and lower rates of free/reduced lunch recipients suggest it is effectively supporting student learning and achievement, though further analysis of the school's practices and resources could provide valuable insights for other schools in the district and state.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
