Summary

Salina School is an elementary school located in Salina, Utah, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 438 students. It is part of the Sevier District, which is ranked 45 out of 93 districts in Utah and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Salina School has a history of fluctuating performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 171 to 358 out of 547-561 Utah elementary schools over the past 10 years, and a 2-3 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Salina School faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 34.2% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's test scores in RISE (Readiness, Improvement, Success, and Excellence) assessments for Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts are generally lower than the Sevier District and Utah state averages, with some exceptions in 4th and 5th-grade Math and Science. Salina School also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 48.71% to 51.9% over the past few years, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

However, Salina School's performance for low-income students is a bright spot, as the school ranks 3rd out of 111 Utah elementary schools for low-socioeconomic status students in the 2021-2022 school year. This suggests that the school may be effectively supporting its most vulnerable students. In comparison, the nearby Pahvant School and Gunnison Valley School consistently outperform Salina School in test scores and have higher statewide rankings, indicating that there is room for improvement at Salina School.
