Summary:
The 84062 zip code area in Utah is home to 13 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 2 alternative schools, all part of the Alpine School District, except for 3 public charter schools. While the schools serve a predominantly white student population, there are notable disparities in academic performance, with some schools, like Cedar Ridge School and Lincoln Academy, consistently outperforming state and district averages, while others, such as Mount Mahogany School and Central School, struggle to meet these benchmarks.
The data reveals that socioeconomic factors, such as free/reduced lunch rates, appear to play a significant role in student achievement, with higher-poverty schools generally underperforming their more affluent counterparts. However, there are exceptions, like Spectrum Academy - Pleasant Grove, a public charter school that lags behind the district and state despite lower free/reduced lunch rates. Interestingly, Pleasant Grove High School has shown improvement in its state ranking over the past few years, suggesting that some schools are making progress in addressing performance challenges.
Overall, the 84062 zip code area presents a diverse educational landscape, with both high-performing and underperforming schools. Understanding the factors contributing to these disparities, such as resource allocation, teacher quality, and community engagement, will be crucial in ensuring equitable access to quality education for all students in the area.
