Ascent Academies of Utah Saratoga Springs

Q: Is Ascent Academies of Utah Saratoga Springs a good school?

Ascent Academies of Utah Saratoga Springs ranks 353 rd of 561 Utah elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Ascent Academies of Utah Saratoga Springs is a public charter elementary school serving 388 students in grades K-6 in Saratoga Springs, Utah. While the school has a relatively diverse student population, its academic performance lags behind nearby schools in the Alpine District.

Ascent Academies of Utah Saratoga Springs has lower proficiency rates compared to the state and its own Ascent Academies of Utah district averages across most grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate was 45.3% compared to the state average of 46.7%, and its 4th grade Math proficiency rate was 38.2% compared to the district average of 38.8%. Despite having a lower student-teacher ratio than nearby schools, the school does not appear to be translating this into higher academic performance, suggesting that other factors, such as curriculum, teaching methods, or school leadership, may be more influential.

Ascent Academies of Utah Saratoga Springs has also seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 353 out of 561 Utah elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 347 out of 429 for its White student subgroup. This suggests that the school is struggling to keep pace with other schools in the state, particularly for its White student population. The school should closely examine its practices and identify areas for improvement to better support its students and address these performance challenges.

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.
