Sand Ridge Junior High

Summary:

Sand Ridge Junior High is a public middle school in Roy, Utah, serving 857 students in grades 7-9. The school is part of the Weber District, which is ranked 60 out of 98 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past several years, Sand Ridge Junior High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah middle schools, with a ranking between 174 and 199 out of around 210-220 schools.

Sand Ridge Junior High has consistently underperformed the state and district averages in all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science were significantly lower than the state and district averages, often by 10 percentage points or more. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 35% to 40% over the past few years, which is higher than the nearby schools, such as Mound Fort Junior High and T.H. Bell Junior High, which range from 15% to 47% free/reduced lunch recipients.

While Sand Ridge Junior High underperforms the state and district averages, some of the nearby schools also struggle to meet these benchmarks, suggesting that the challenges faced by Sand Ridge Junior High may be shared by other schools in the region. This indicates that a broader, district-wide or regional approach may be needed to address the issues and provide targeted interventions and additional resources to support student success at Sand Ridge Junior High and other struggling schools in the area.

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.
