Bountiful Junior High

Summary:

Bountiful Junior High is a public middle school in Bountiful, Utah, serving around 630 students in grades 7-9. While the school is part of the Davis School District, which is ranked 40 out of 98 districts in the state, Bountiful Junior High faces some unique challenges compared to nearby schools.

Bountiful Junior High's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the Davis District and Utah state averages, particularly in recent years. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 7th and 8th grade proficiency rates in these subjects were 3-10 percentage points below the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from being ranked 33rd out of 222 Utah middle schools in 2018-2019 to 157th out of 210 in 2023-2024, placing it in the bottom half of Utah middle schools.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Centennial Junior High, Kaysville Junior High, and Farmington Junior High, consistently outperform Bountiful Junior High in proficiency rates and statewide rankings. These schools have higher percentages of students from higher socioeconomic backgrounds, which can be a significant factor in academic performance. Despite Bountiful Junior High's higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio compared to some nearby schools, these factors do not seem to translate to better academic outcomes for the 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.
