Summary

Arcadia School is an elementary school located in Taylorsville, Utah, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 430. It is part of the Granite School District, which is ranked 70 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Arcadia School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-20% of Utah elementary schools over the past several years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Arcadia School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, student engagement, and socioeconomic factors. The school has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the district and state averages, with a rate of 32.0% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the district rate of 23.8%. Arcadia School's test scores are also consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 3rd grade math, Arcadia's proficiency rate was 18.7% in 2023-2024, compared to the district's 36% and the state's 49.1%. Additionally, Arcadia School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55.22% to 59.06% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, Arcadia School's performance lags behind most of the nearby schools in the Granite School District. For example, Fox Hills School, which is only 1.55 miles away, consistently outperforms Arcadia School on test scores and other metrics. This suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in Arcadia School's academic performance, and addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism could be a key focus area for improvement. Additionally, Arcadia School's spending per student ($8,152 in 2018-2019) is lower than some of the nearby schools, which may be impacting the school's ability to provide adequate resources and support for its students.
