East Ridge Elementary School

Summary:

East Ridge Elementary School is a public elementary school in Ogden, Utah, serving 720 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Ogden City School District.

While East Ridge Elementary has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (36.39%) compared to the state average, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with a 2-star performance rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are below state and district averages across all grade levels. However, Hispanic students at East Ridge have performed relatively well, ranking between 2nd and 15th out of 44-49 Utah elementary schools with Hispanic student populations. In contrast, White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds have performed poorly, ranking in the bottom quarter of Utah elementary schools in those categories.

Over the past three years, East Ridge Elementary has seen a notable increase in the percentage of Hispanic students, which may have implications for the school's instructional approaches and support services. Additionally, the school faces challenges related to its high percentage of students from low-income families, with 37.78% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. While East Ridge Elementary generally performs below average compared to other schools in the Ogden City School District, it does outperform some of the district's lowest-performing schools, such as Heritage School and Lincoln School.

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.
