The school is part of the Tooele District, which is ranked 69 out of 98 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past several years, Copper Canyon School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Copper Canyon School consistently underperforms compared to the Tooele District and the state of Utah in RISE test scores for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 29.1% of 3rd graders, 34.6% of 5th graders, and 30.6% of 6th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the Tooele District at 34.3%, 35.6%, and 37.4%, respectively, and the state of Utah at 46.7%, 48.3%, and 47.4%. The school also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 33.33% in the 2022-2023 school year, compared to the nearby Rose Springs School and Stansbury Park School, which ranged from 12.9% to 39.57%.

Additionally, Copper Canyon School has a higher student-teacher ratio of 23.3 in the 2022-2023 school year, compared to the nearby schools, which ranged from 14.2 to 24.3. This higher ratio may suggest that the school has fewer resources available for individual student attention and support, which could be a factor in the school's lower academic performance. Overall, the data indicates that Copper Canyon School faces significant challenges in student academic achievement and may benefit from a closer examination of its resource allocation, instructional practices, and strategies to support its diverse 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.
