Terra Linda School

Summary:

Terra Linda School is an elementary school in West Jordan, Utah, serving 474 students from kindergarten to 6th grade as part of the Jordan District. While the school has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with 32.07% Hispanic and 3.59% Asian students, its academic performance consistently lags behind the district and state averages.

Terra Linda School's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was just 20.3% in the 2023-2024 school year, far below the Welby School at 48.6% and the Elk Meadows School at 52.9%. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from 274 out of 537 Utah elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 502 out of 561 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite having a higher percentage of students from low-income families, as indicated by the 28.66% to 36.71% free and reduced lunch rates, and a lower student-teacher ratio than some nearby schools, Terra Linda School's academic performance remains a concern. The school's underperformance compared to its peers within the Jordan District suggests that further investigation is needed to understand the underlying factors and develop strategies to improve student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
