Summary:
There is only one elementary school located in the city of La Verkin, Utah - the LaVerkin School. Serving students from grades K-6, the LaVerkin School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with its performance on standardized tests falling below the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels.
The school faces significant challenges, including a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 55.08% in the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 20.2 is slightly higher than the typical recommended ratio, and its per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $9,010. The school also struggles with a chronic absenteeism rate of 23.8% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the desired target.
Overall, the data suggests that the LaVerkin School requires a comprehensive approach to address its performance and demographic challenges. Improving academic achievement, resource allocation, and addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism should be priorities for the school and the Washington District to ensure that students in La Verkin receive a high-quality education.
