Summary

Sally Mauro School is an elementary school located in Helper, Utah, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 303 students. It is part of the Carbon District, which is ranked 57 out of 93 school districts in Utah and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its consistent ranking in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools over the past decade, ranging from 219 to 410 out of 547-561 schools, and a mostly 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, Sally Mauro School has struggled to match the performance of nearby schools like Wellington School and Castle Heights School, which have consistently ranked in the top half of Utah elementary schools and received 3-4 star ratings. The school's student proficiency rates in RISE assessments for Math, Science, and English Language Arts (ELA) are generally lower than the Carbon District and Utah state averages.

Additionally, Sally Mauro School has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 31.9% over the past few years, which is notably higher than the nearby schools. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 46.39% to 53.46% over the past few years, suggesting it may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population. While the school's spending per student is slightly higher than the nearby schools, its student-teacher ratio is lower, ranging from 16.8 to 18.7.
