Summary:
The 84115 zip code area in Utah is home to 8 schools spanning elementary, middle, and high school grades, spread across two different school districts - Granite District and Salt Lake District. While the schools face significant challenges, including high poverty rates and chronic absenteeism, a few standout institutions demonstrate the potential for improvement in the area.
Whittier School, an elementary school, is the highest-performing in the data set, consistently ranking in the top 50% of Utah elementary schools. Granite Technical Institute, a high school, has shown significant improvement in recent years, moving from a 0-star to a 3-star rating, with strong 10th-grade science proficiency. Utah International Charter School, while having low overall performance, serves a unique population with a high graduation rate and low student-teacher ratio.
The schools in this area generally perform below state and district averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 10-65%. Chronic absenteeism is a concerning trend, with all schools reporting rates between 23.8% and 24.8%. Spending per student varies widely, from $6,896 at Innovations High School to $45,780 at Granite Technical Institute, but this does not always correlate with academic performance. The data highlights the need for targeted interventions and innovative approaches to drive improvement in these schools serving high-need populations.
