Syracuse School

Summary:

Syracuse School is an elementary school serving 798 students in grades PK-6, located in Syracuse, Utah, which is part of the Davis District. While the school has generally been in the middle range of Utah elementary schools in recent years, with a 2-3 star rating from SchoolDigger, it appears to be facing some challenges in academic achievement, particularly in mathematics.

Syracuse School's test scores on the RISE assessments are generally below the Davis District and state averages, with only 23% of 6th graders proficient or better in math, compared to 38.4% for the district and 35.6% statewide. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have declined over the past several years, dropping from a 3-star rating in 2014-2015 to a 2-star rating more recently. When compared to nearby schools in the Davis District, such as West Point, Bluff Ridge, and Cook, Syracuse School generally underperforms on test scores, particularly in mathematics.

Other factors that may be contributing to Syracuse School's challenges include its relatively low per-student spending of $6,857 in 2018-2019, which is on the lower end compared to some of the other nearby schools, as well as its higher student-teacher ratio of around 22-23 students per teacher. Additionally, the school has a higher percentage of white students (around 83%) compared to the state average, which may indicate potential equity and inclusion challenges that the school could be facing.

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.
