While the majority of the schools have a predominantly white student population, some, like American Leadership Academy and Park School, have a more diverse student body. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, a proxy for socioeconomic status, also varies widely, from around 10% at Maple Mountain High to over 50% at Park School.
The data suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources, such as school leadership, teaching quality, and student demographics, play a crucial role in student outcomes. The presence of alternative and charter schools, like American Leadership Academy and Landmark High, also provides families with more educational options in the area. Overall, the data highlights the need for continued efforts to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Nebo School District and the American Leadership Academy district.
