Summary:
The 84128 zip code area in Utah is home to 6 elementary schools, all part of the Granite School District except for Ascent Academies of Utah - West Valley, a public charter school. These schools serve diverse student populations, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
Among the standout schools, Ascent Academies of Utah - West Valley has the lowest statewide ranking but generally higher RISE test scores than the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. On the other hand, Whittier School has the lowest statewide ranking among the traditional public schools and significantly lower test scores across most grade levels and subjects compared to the district and state. The school with the highest statewide ranking, West Valley School, has test scores closer to the district and state averages, though still below in many areas.
The data reveals significant performance gaps between the schools and the district/state averages on RISE test scores, with many schools' proficiency rates 10-20 percentage points below the district and state levels. This may be related to the high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, suggesting the schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which can contribute to these performance challenges. The differences in performance between the traditional public schools and the charter school also highlight the potential for varied approaches and outcomes within the 84128 zip code area.
