Summary:
The city of La Verkin, Utah has only one elementary school, LaVerkin School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with below-average standardized test scores compared to the Washington District and the state of Utah.
LaVerkin School faces several challenges, including a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (55.08%) and a chronic absenteeism rate of 23.8%, which is significantly higher than the typical benchmark of 10% or less. The school's student-teacher ratio of 20.2 is slightly higher than the recommended ratio, and its per-student spending of $9,010 for the 2018-2019 school year is also below the state average.
Overall, the data suggests that LaVerkin School is underperforming compared to other elementary schools in the region and may benefit from interventions or strategies to improve student engagement, attendance, and academic achievement. While the school's demographics and socioeconomic factors may play a role in its performance, the data does not indicate a direct correlation between these factors and the school's ranking or test scores.
