However, the school consistently underperforms on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science significantly lower than the Granite District and Utah state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, Granite Park Junior High has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.58% to 73.46% over the past three school years, which is much higher than the nearby schools.
Despite the school's challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 17.1 to 18.5 over the past three school years, which is lower than the nearby schools. This suggests that the school may have an opportunity to leverage this resource to provide more personalized and targeted instruction to its students. However, the school's consistently poor performance indicates that additional factors, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and school leadership, may need to be addressed to improve student outcomes.
