Wasatch School

Summary:

Wasatch School is an elementary school in Clearfield, Utah, serving 447 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Davis School District, which is ranked 40 out of 98 districts in the state. However, Wasatch School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 212 out of 526 Utah elementary schools in 2016-2017 to its current rank of 490 out of 561 in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Compared to nearby schools in the Davis District, Wasatch School stands out in several key areas. The school has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (32.44%) and a significantly higher rate of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 48.4% to 55.48% over the past three years. This is in contrast to the nearby Antelope School, Cook School, and Hill Field School, which have free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 13.75% to 45.15%. Additionally, Wasatch School consistently underperforms the Davis District and Utah state averages in RISE assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels.

The challenges faced by Wasatch School, including its high percentage of low-income and Hispanic students, as well as its consistently lower academic performance compared to nearby schools, suggest that the school may need additional resources and targeted interventions to support its students and improve educational outcomes. As the school's statewide ranking continues to decline, the school community and district will need to address these issues to ensure that all students at Wasatch School have the opportunity to succeed.

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.
