Summary:
The 84111 zip code area of Salt Lake City, Utah is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools and 1 middle school. The standout school in this set is the Salt Lake Arts Academy, a public charter middle school that ranks 15th out of 216 Utah middle schools and has a 5-star rating. In contrast, the Liberty School, an elementary school, is ranked 558th out of 561 Utah elementary schools and has a 0-star rating.
The Salt Lake Arts Academy significantly outperforms the state averages on test scores across all grade levels and subjects, while the Liberty School's test scores are well below the state and Salt Lake District averages. The Salt Lake Arts Academy also has a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 6.44%, compared to the extremely high rate of 99.49% at the Liberty School. Interestingly, the Liberty School spends $13,128 per student, which is significantly higher than the state average, but this increased spending does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for students.
The small size and low student-teacher ratio of the Salt Lake Virtual Elementary school suggests it may be serving a specialized population of students, potentially those who require more individualized attention or have unique learning needs. The racial demographics of the schools also highlight the potential for socioeconomic and educational disparities within the 84111 zip code area, with the Salt Lake Arts Academy serving a predominantly white student population and the Liberty School and Salt Lake Virtual Elementary serving a majority Hispanic student population.
