Summary:
In Provo, Utah, Treeside Charter School is the only elementary school listed in the Treeside Charter School area. It serves about 434 students in kindergarten through sixth grade and reports a 15.6-to-1 student–teacher ratio. Because there is only one school, families cannot compare several local elementary schools within this listing; the most useful comparisons are with Utah statewide results and the school’s performance across grades and years.
The school’s strongest academic subject is science. Fourth-grade science proficiency was 53%, about the same as Utah’s 52.6%, and sixth-grade science was reported between 60% and 78%, above the statewide 58.2%. However, mathematics is a significant concern: proficiency was 26.2% in third grade and 23% in fourth grade, compared with about 50% statewide. Fifth-grade math was below 20%, while sixth-grade results ranged from 10% to 29%, also below Utah’s 37.4%. English language arts results were below the state in third and fourth grade, with fourth grade showing the largest gap. Fifth- and sixth-grade results were reported as ranges that overlap statewide performance, so their exact standing is unclear.
The school has remained in the lower part of Utah’s rankings, around the 24th to 27th percentile over the past three reported years. The reported chronic absenteeism rate of 70.3% is especially notable compared with Utah’s 23.8%; families may want to ask the school to clarify how this figure was calculated and what attendance support is available. The school’s science results show that strong performance is possible in some grades, while the broad mathematics weakness suggests a need for focused instructional support. Parents may also wish to ask about math intervention, attendance policies, class-level performance, and more current financial information, since the available spending figure dates to 2018–2019.
