Taylorsville High

Summary:

Taylorsville High is a public high school located in Taylorsville, Utah, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,770 students. The school is part of the Granite School District, which is ranked 72 out of 98 districts in Utah and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Taylorsville High faces some challenges. The school's performance on the Utah Aspire Plus assessments is generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of 10th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts (28.1%), Mathematics (15.2%), and Science (19.4%) were all significantly below the state averages. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and Special Education students, is also lower compared to the state and district averages. Taylorsville High has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Utah high schools, with a ranking of 121 out of 138 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Granger High and Kearns High, which are also part of the Granite School District, Taylorsville High generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. This may be influenced by the school's relatively high percentage of students (around 40-43%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is a proxy for low socioeconomic status.

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.
