Summary:
The Juab District in Utah has only one high school, Juab High, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 890 students. The school's academic performance, as measured by the Utah Aspire Plus assessments, is consistently below the state averages in core subject areas, leading to a significant decline in the school's statewide ranking over the past few years.
Juab High's 10th-grade proficiency rates in the 2023-2024 school year were 30.6% in English Language Arts, 17.6% in Math, and 15.9% in Science, compared to state averages of 44.6%, 27.5%, and 33.8%, respectively. The school's free and reduced-price lunch rate of 21.12% indicates that a significant portion of the student population comes from lower-income households, which may be a factor in the school's academic performance. Additionally, the student-teacher ratio of 26.3 at Juab High is slightly higher than the state average, which could impact the level of individual attention and support available to students.
Despite these challenges, the data suggests a need for further investigation into the factors contributing to Juab High's academic performance and declining statewide ranking, as well as potential strategies to address the issues and improve student outcomes. The school's per-student spending of $9,375 for the 2018-2019 school year is an important metric to consider, as it may provide insights into the school's ability to allocate resources effectively to support student learning and achievement.
