Burch Creek School

Summary:

Burch Creek School is an elementary school in Ogden, Utah, serving 559 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Weber District, which is ranked 67 out of 100 in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Burch Creek School faces several key challenges. It has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (27.55%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 13.66% to 24.62%. Academically, the school consistently underperforms the Weber District and state averages in RISE test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2022-2023, Burch Creek's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency was 41.3%, compared to the district's 41.8% and the state's 46.2%. Additionally, Burch Creek has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 44.62% to 47.44% over the past three years, which is higher than the nearby schools, which range from 12.95% to 51.12%.

Burch Creek School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with a ranking between 435 and 453 out of 559-561 schools over the past three years. It has received a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past four years. While the school maintains a relatively diverse student population, with 2.33% African American, 0.54% Asian, 0.18% Native American, 1.61% Pacific Islander, and 3.04% two or more races, its academic performance is consistently below the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. This suggests a systemic issue that needs to be addressed, especially when compared to the performance of nearby schools like Odyssey School, Liberty Elementary School, and Wasatch School.

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.
