Summary:
The data set provided contains information about a single high school, Paradigm High School, located in the Paradigm High School District in South Jordan, Utah. Serving grades 7-12, Paradigm High School has a total enrollment of 348 students and a predominantly White student population (82.47%).
Paradigm High School's academic performance is mixed, with strengths in English Language Arts but weaknesses in Mathematics. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts are generally higher than the state averages, while its 10th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate is significantly lower than the state average. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past three years, ranging from 45th out of 131 Utah high schools in 2021-2022 to 71st out of 139 in the most recent 2022-2023 school year, suggesting inconsistent performance or the influence of factors not easily captured in the data.
Despite its mixed academic performance, Paradigm High School serves a relatively affluent student population, with only 13.51% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are also slightly lower than the state averages. These socioeconomic factors may contribute to the school's academic strengths and resources, but also highlight the need to address the identified weaknesses in Mathematics and ensure consistent performance across all subject areas.
