Summary:
The data set provided focuses on a single high school, St. George Academy, located in Washington, Utah. As a public charter high school serving grades 8-12, St. George Academy has a total enrollment of 223 students with a diverse racial makeup, including 71.75% White, 21.52% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of Asian, African American, Pacific Islander, and multiracial students.
Academically, St. George Academy's proficiency rates on the Utah Aspire Plus assessments are below the state averages, particularly in mathematics where only 20% of students met proficiency compared to the state average of 32.8%. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, dropping from a top 40 position to the bottom third of Utah high schools, which may be due to changes in the school's student population, curriculum, or teaching practices. With a relatively low free and reduced-price lunch rate of 12.56%, St. George Academy appears to serve fewer economically disadvantaged students compared to other schools in the state.
Overall, the data suggests that St. George Academy has room for improvement in its academic performance, particularly in mathematics, and may benefit from examining the factors contributing to its fluctuating statewide ranking. Additionally, the school could explore ways to increase its demographic diversity and support for economically disadvantaged students to provide a richer learning environment and better prepare its students for the future.
