Mountain Point Elementary

Q: Is Mountain Point Elementary a good school?

Mountain Point Elementary ranks 363 rd of 561 Utah elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Mountain Point Elementary is a public elementary school in Bluffdale, Utah, serving 773 students in grades K-6 and part of the Jordan School District.

While Mountain Point Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (74.9%) compared to nearby schools, its academic performance on RISE tests is generally lower than the Jordan District and Utah state averages across all grade levels. For example, the school's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 52.4% in 2023-2024, compared to the district's 43.9% and the state's 46.7%. Additionally, Mountain Point Elementary has a relatively low percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 15.89% to 18.53% over the past three school years, and a higher student-teacher ratio, ranging from 21.3 to 23.9, compared to nearby schools.

The school's performance has been inconsistent across grade levels and subject areas, and its statewide ranking has declined from 364 out of 559 Utah elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 316 out of 561 in 2022-2023. While the reasons for these performance differences are not entirely clear, the higher student-teacher ratio and lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at Mountain Point Elementary may be contributing factors. Addressing these areas could help the school improve its overall educational outcomes and better serve its student population.

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.
