Public Grades

Summary

Sharon School is an elementary school in Orem, Utah, serving 336 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Alpine School District. However, the school faces significant challenges, including a high percentage of Hispanic students, consistently low test scores, and a large population of economically disadvantaged students.

Compared to nearby schools like Northridge School, Orem School, and Cascade School, Sharon School has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students, ranging from 55.95% to the nearby schools' 8.44% to 51.49%. This racial disparity likely contributes to the school's persistent underperformance on standardized tests, with only 29.6% of 4th graders proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 52.6% in the Alpine District and 44.2% statewide.

Additionally, Sharon School faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 57.88% to 68.45% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past three years, significantly higher than the nearby schools. This high rate of economic disadvantage likely contributes to the school's low performance, as it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. Addressing these disparities and improving student outcomes at Sharon School will require a comprehensive review of the school's resources, teaching practices, and support systems.

Sending my children to Sharon Elementary was one of the best decisions that I’ve made as a parent. They have amazing administrators, phenomenal teachers, some of the best technology opportunities in the district, and fantastic families to associate with. Seriously this school is a hidden gem in Alpine School district. Close Quote
