Fossil Ridge Intermediate

Public Grades 6-7

Summary

Fossil Ridge Intermediate is a public middle school located in Saint George, Utah, serving grades 6-7 with a total enrollment of 734 students. The school is part of the Washington District, which is ranked 35 out of 98 districts in Utah and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fossil Ridge Intermediate has consistently ranked in the middle to lower range of Utah middle schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years. Its proficiency rates in RISE assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below the Washington District and Utah state averages. However, the school performs relatively well in serving certain student subgroups, ranking in the top 35 out of 106 Utah middle schools for Hispanic students and in the top 16 out of 54 for English Language Learners. Conversely, its performance for White students and Special Education students is in the lower half of Utah middle schools.

Fossil Ridge Intermediate's academic performance is generally lower than the nearby Lava Ridge Intermediate and Sunrise Ridge Intermediate schools, which are also part of the Washington District. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from a high of 28th out of 210 Utah middle schools in 2014-2015 to 127th out of 210 in the most recent 2023-2024 school year. This trend indicates the school may be facing challenges in maintaining its academic performance, which could be influenced by the high percentage of students (around 45-48%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively disadvantaged student population.
