Summary:

Esperanza School is the sole elementary public charter school in West Valley City, Utah, serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. Based on the available data, Esperanza School appears to be an underperforming school compared to other elementary schools in the state. The school's statewide ranking has declined from 347 out of 561 Utah elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 418 out of 547 in 2024-2025, indicating a drop in performance over time. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates in RISE assessments for Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts are generally below the state averages across all grade levels.

One key concern is Esperanza School's high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.8% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is relatively high compared to the state average. This may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance, as regular attendance is crucial for student success. Furthermore, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 38.66% in the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting that it may be serving a population with greater socioeconomic challenges, which can impact academic outcomes.

Overall, the data suggests that Esperanza School is underperforming compared to other elementary schools in Utah and may benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve academic achievement, attendance, and other key metrics. The school's current 1 out of 5 star rating by SchoolDigger further underscores the need for improvement in order to provide a high-quality education for its students.
