What this means: About 77% of students here test proficient in math and reading, well above the roughly 54% typical for Utah schools with a similar share of low-income students. BeatsExpectations ranks schools against others at the same poverty level, not by raw scores, so a school can post high scores and still fall short of its prediction, or post lower scores and still beat it. This school clears its prediction by about 22 points, placing it in Utah's top 10%.

How to read these scores
What is RISE / Utah Aspire+?
RISE / Utah Aspire+ is the statewide standardized test administered by Utah public schools.
What does "% Proficient + Highly Proficient" mean?
It is the share of students at the school who performed at grade level or above on the test, summed across the top two of four performance levels. A higher number is better.
What does 72.6% mean for English Language Arts at Granite School?
It means about 72.6 percent of students tested at Granite School performed at grade level or above on the RISE / Utah Aspire+ English Language Arts test in 2024-25. The statewide average for Utah that year was 41.4%. The other students fell into the lower performance levels.
How is the state average calculated?
It is a weighted average, not a simple average of each school's number. We multiply each public school's score by how many of its students tested, add those together for all schools in Utah, and divide by the total students tested that year. This way a big school with 1,500 students counts more than a small school with 50 students, which is the right way to ask "how did the typical student do this year?". District and county averages on this page use the same method, just scoped to that district or county.
Where does this data come from?
Utah State Board of Education, RISE (grades 3-8) and Utah Aspire Plus (grades 9-10). School-level from the USBE Proficiency Levels xlsx. NCES join via school name (no school code in source). Headline metric is the cumulative "Proficient + Highly Proficient" rate (top 2 of 4 RISE/Aspire levels: Below / Approaching / Proficient / Highly Proficient).
How often is it updated?
RISE / Utah Aspire+ is administered once a year (spring). Results are released by the state in the summer or early fall. We refresh this page after each annual release.
