Summary:
Mountain Sunrise Academy is the sole elementary school located in Saratoga Springs, Utah, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 507 students. While the school has a relatively low percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, its academic performance is significantly below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. With a high student-teacher ratio of 26.2 and a consistently low statewide ranking, the data suggests that Mountain Sunrise Academy may need to implement significant changes to better support student learning and improve educational outcomes.
The school's test scores are particularly concerning, with 3rd grade students scoring 20.8% proficient or better in ELA compared to the state average of 46.7%. This pattern holds true across all grade levels and subject areas, indicating that the school is struggling to effectively educate its students. Additionally, the school's high student-teacher ratio may be a contributing factor, as it can be more challenging for teachers to provide individualized attention and support to students in larger class sizes.
Despite the low percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which typically suggests a more affluent student population, Mountain Sunrise Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with a ranking of 524 out of 561 schools in the most recent year. This consistent low performance suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its instructional practices, resource allocation, and support systems to better serve its students and improve their educational outcomes.
