Grand County Middle

Public Grades 7-8
Summary

Despite its small student-teacher ratio of 16.2 students per teacher, Grand County Middle School consistently underperforms compared to the state average on standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 16.1% to 43.3% across subjects, compared to the state averages of 39.1% to 49%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (49.58%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant socioeconomic challenge. As a result, Grand District has ranked Grand County Middle School in the bottom 15% of Utah middle schools.

The school's academic performance has been declining over the past few years, and the school may need to implement targeted interventions to improve student learning outcomes. While the school's diverse student population could present both challenges and opportunities, the data suggests that Grand County Middle School faces significant hurdles in providing a high-quality education to its students compared to other middle schools in the state.
