Summary:
Bear River City, Utah has only one public elementary school, Century School, which serves grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 491 students. The school is part of the Box Elder School District, which is ranked 57th out of 98 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Century School's test scores on the RISE assessments are generally below the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. For example, in 2023-2024, only 35.1% of 4th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 41.6% in the district and 44% statewide. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (30.75%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. The school's spending per student is also below the state average, and it has a slightly higher student-teacher ratio than the recommended ratio for elementary schools.
These findings suggest that Century School may need to focus on improving its instructional practices and support for students, particularly in core academic subjects. The school's socioeconomic challenges and resource constraints may also be contributing factors to its underperformance, and addressing these issues through targeted interventions and collaboration with the district and community could be important steps in improving educational outcomes for students.
