Summary:
There is only one middle school located in the 84104 zip code area - Glendale Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Salt Lake District. This school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah middle schools in recent years and struggles with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Glendale Middle School has a total enrollment of 663 students and a student-teacher ratio of 16.8, which is slightly lower than the district average. However, the school's performance is significantly below the district and state averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with test scores in RISE Mathematics, RISE Science, and RISE English Language Arts all lagging behind. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.8% is also quite high, indicating a need for interventions to improve student engagement and attendance.
Despite the school's challenges, it does have a relatively high spending per student of $10,886, which is slightly higher than the district average. This suggests that resources may not be the primary issue, and that other factors, such as curriculum, teaching quality, or school climate, may be contributing to the school's struggles. Overall, Glendale Middle School appears to be a struggling school that would benefit from a comprehensive review and implementation of targeted interventions to address its academic and demographic challenges.
