Summary:

Fox Hills School is an elementary school in Salt Lake City, Utah, serving 570 students from kindergarten to 6th grade as part of the Granite School District.

Fox Hills School consistently outperforms the Granite District and the state of Utah in academic proficiency, with its students ranking between 194 and 272 out of 561 Utah elementary schools over the past several years. The school's White and low socioeconomic status (SES) student subgroups perform particularly well, ranking 118 out of 429 and 50 out of 162 Utah elementary schools, respectively. Additionally, Fox Hills School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, and its spending per student is lower than the surrounding schools.

While Fox Hills School is a high-performing school overall, there may be opportunities to further improve the academic achievement of its diverse student population, including its Hispanic and other minority student subgroups. The school's consistent performance, effective support for its White and low-SES students, and lower spending per student compared to nearby schools make it an interesting case for further analysis and potential best practice sharing within the Granite School District.

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.
