Summary

Naples School is an elementary school located in Vernal, Utah, serving 498 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Uintah School District, which is ranked 38 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, over the past several years, Naples School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, typically in the 300s or 400s out of around 550-570 schools.

Naples School faces significant challenges in student performance, particularly in English Language Arts, with only 36.6% of 3rd graders and 40.3% of 4th graders proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to district and state averages in the 40s and 50s. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 44.6% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Naples School has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 56% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Uintah District, such as Maeser School and Discovery School, significantly outperform Naples School on academic measures, with higher test scores and stronger rankings. This suggests that the challenges faced by Naples School may be specific to the school itself, rather than district-wide issues. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and identifying successful practices from higher-performing nearby schools could be important steps in improving outcomes for the students of Naples School.
