Heritage School

Summary:

Heritage School is an elementary school located in Ogden, Utah, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 638. The school is part of the Ogden City District, which is ranked 83 out of 98 districts in Utah and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Heritage School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with a ranking between 479 and 536 out of 509-572 schools over the past 10 years. It has received a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very low performance compared to other schools in the state. The school's Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) student subgroups perform significantly worse than the state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, Heritage School's Hispanic students ranked 26th out of 49 Utah elementary schools, while its ELL students ranked 22nd out of 23 schools. Additionally, Heritage School has an exceptionally high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 76.38% to 100% over the past three years, indicating a very high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

The performance of Heritage School's students has generally declined over the past 10 years, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science falling further behind the state and district averages. When compared to other nearby schools in the Ogden City District, such as East Ridge Elementary School, Heritage School consistently underperforms across all grade levels and subject areas. The combination of high poverty rates, high percentages of minority and ELL students, and low overall school rankings suggests that Heritage School faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.

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.
