However, the majority of schools in the 84044 zip code area struggle academically, with most having proficiency rates well below the state averages in math, English language arts, and science. This is likely due to the high poverty levels and other socioeconomic challenges faced by the student populations, as evidenced by the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 47.8% to 65.7%. Additionally, the schools in this area face high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 24.9%, which may contribute to their academic struggles.
