Public, Alternative Grades 8-9

Summary

Dixie Middle is a public secondary school located in St. George, Utah, serving grades 8-9 with a total enrollment of 854 students. The school is part of the Washington District, which is ranked 35 out of 98 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Dixie Middle has a more diverse student population compared to the nearby schools, its academic performance is lower than the district and state averages. The school's proficiency rates in RISE/English Language Arts, RISE/Mathematics, and RISE/Science for 8th grade, as well as Utah Aspire Plus/English Language Arts, Utah Aspire Plus/Mathematics, and Utah Aspire Plus/Science for 9th grade, are all below the surrounding schools and the state. Additionally, Dixie Middle has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 38.88% to 41.74% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools.

The lower spending per student and higher student-teacher ratio at Dixie Middle compared to the nearby schools, such as Crimson Cliffs Middle and Pine View Middle, may be indicative of resource allocation challenges. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions, equitable resource distribution, and a focus on supporting the diverse student population could be crucial for improving the school's overall performance and outcomes.
