Mountain Ridge High

Q: Is Mountain Ridge High a good school?

Mountain Ridge High ranks 63 rd of 138 Utah high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Mountain Ridge High is a public high school serving grades 10-12 in Herriman, Utah, which is part of the Jordan School District. While the school has seen a gradual decrease in its white student population over the past few years, its academic performance has been consistently lower than the state and district averages in key areas.

Mountain Ridge High's 10th-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science have lagged behind nearby schools like Bingham High, which consistently outperforms Mountain Ridge High in academic proficiency and statewide rankings. Additionally, Herriman High and Riverton High, both within a 3-mile radius of Mountain Ridge High, also have higher academic proficiency rates and statewide rankings.

Despite these academic challenges, Mountain Ridge High has performed relatively well in certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, ranking 12th and 5th, respectively, out of Utah high schools in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a more affluent student population, which may be a contributing factor to its academic performance.

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.
