Summary:
The city of West Valley, Utah is home to a single elementary school, Neil Armstrong Academy, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 222nd out of 561 Utah elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 315th out of 547 in 2024-2025, its academic performance on RISE assessments is mixed compared to the Granite District and Utah state averages.
In mathematics, Neil Armstrong Academy's proficiency rates are above the district average in most grades, but below the state average. In English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rates are above the district average in most grades, but below the state average. However, the school's science proficiency rates are above both the district and state averages in most grades. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (37.98% in 2023-2024), indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families, and a student-teacher ratio of 24.2, which is slightly higher than the state average.
While the data provides a snapshot of Neil Armstrong Academy's performance and characteristics, a more comprehensive analysis would be needed to fully understand the factors driving the school's trends and identify areas for improvement. Exploring strategies to address the school's academic weaknesses, optimize its resource allocation, and support its economically disadvantaged student population could be valuable next steps in ensuring the success of this West Valley elementary school.
