Summary:

LaSalle-Backus Elementary School is a public elementary school in Washington, DC, serving 255 students in grades PK-5 as part of the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) district.

LaSalle-Backus has a predominantly minority student population, with 52.16% African American and 45.1% Hispanic students. The school has seen fluctuating rankings and ratings from SchoolDigger, ranging from a low of 110 out of 112 DC elementary schools (0 stars) in 2011-2012 to a high of 36 out of 97 schools (3 stars) in 2021-2022. The school performs particularly well in the rankings for African American and English Language Learner students, but achievement gaps exist for Hispanic and low socioeconomic status students. Despite higher spending per student and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, LaSalle-Backus' test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly below the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby charter schools like DC Bilingual PCS, Sela PCS, and Mundo Verde Bilingual PCS, LaSalle-Backus has a more racially diverse student population but lower academic performance as measured by test scores and rankings. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional practices, school leadership, and family engagement, may play a significant role in driving student success.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
