East Midvale School

Summary:

East Midvale School is an elementary school in Midvale, Utah, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Canyons School District. While the school has a diverse student population, it faces significant challenges in academic performance, socioeconomic status, and resource allocation compared to nearby schools and district/state averages.

East Midvale School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with lower performance on state assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science than the Canyons District and state averages. The school also has a very high percentage of students (over 98%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Additionally, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 18.1 to 19.3 students per teacher, which is higher than the nearby East Sandy School and Midvalley School.

While East Midvale School's spending per student is higher than the state average, it is lower than some of the nearby schools, such as Copperview School and Midvalley School, which have higher per-student spending. These disparities in academic performance, socioeconomic status, and resource allocation suggest the need for targeted interventions and additional support to help close the achievement gaps and provide equitable educational opportunities for all students at East Midvale School.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
