Summary:

Bluffdale School is a public elementary school serving 754 students in grades K-6 in the Jordan School District in Bluffdale, Utah. The school consistently outperforms the district and state in academic proficiency, ranking in the top half of Utah elementary schools with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bluffdale School's academic performance is a standout, with higher proficiency rates than the district and state in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across multiple grade levels. The school's White students have also performed well, ranking in the top half of Utah elementary schools for this subgroup. Additionally, Bluffdale School has relatively low rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting it serves a more affluent student population compared to the state and district averages.

While Bluffdale School's student population is predominantly White, the school has a more diverse racial makeup compared to some nearby schools, such as Blackridge School and Southland School. The school's proximity to two Summit Academy charter schools, including one less than a mile away, may also be worth further investigation to understand the local education landscape.

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.
