Summary

Midvalley School is an elementary school located in Midvale, Utah, serving 647 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Canyons School District, which is ranked 34 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its long history, Midvalley School has consistently performed poorly, ranking in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools over the past decade and earning a 1-star rating for most of that time. The school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (ranging from 16% to 29.5%), significantly lower test scores than the district and state averages, and an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (50.85% to 99.8%). Additionally, Midvalley School has a relatively high student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools.

While Midvalley School's performance is concerning, the school's Hispanic and low-socioeconomic status students perform better than the overall school, ranking 22nd and 5th, respectively, among Utah elementary schools in those subgroups in recent years. This suggests that the school may have some effective practices in place for supporting these specific populations. Addressing the school's overall academic and attendance issues, as well as exploring the successful strategies used for its Hispanic and low-income students, could be key focus areas for improvement. Nearby East Midvale School, Midvale School, and Copperview School, which also serve high-poverty populations, have better academic outcomes, providing potential models for Midvalley School to learn from.

Laundry list: If parents come to the principal with problems, she just gives excuses not solutions. Some staff is disrespectful to involved parents. Faculty is afraid of the principal. Many behavioral problems in the student body because of poor leadership and administration. Close Quote
