School Community Council The Utah Legislature requires all schools to establish a School Community Council (SCC) to provide input, receive feedback, and have stewardship over a number of critical school duties. Specifically, the SCC responsibilities include: creating a school improvement plan, managing the school Land Trust monies (approximately $40,000 a year for a school of our size), assisting with professional development, analyzing school data, assessing academic needs, and implementing a reading achievement plan.

The Utah Comprehensive Accountability System (UCAS) is the state accountability system. Under the UCAS framework, every school can earn a total of 600 points—300 total points for Achievement and 300 points for Growth. Achievement indicates whether students did or did not pass the test. Growth indicates to what extent a child made progress from one year to the next. Most of the UCAS points come from Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. However, Writing is also factored into the overall performance score. As you can see in the graph to the right, Thunder Ridge scored above the state average in May 2013. The chart below shows that we saw growth in every category in May 2013 compared to May 2012!
