Seltice Elementary School

Summary:

Seltice Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Post Falls, Idaho, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 423. While the school is part of the Post Falls School District, which is ranked 28 out of 77 districts in Idaho and has a 3-star rating, Seltice Elementary has faced significant challenges in recent years.

Seltice Elementary stands out from its nearby counterparts, such as Skyway Elementary School and Betty Kiefer Elementary School, in several key areas. The school has a higher percentage of white students (84.87%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 83.56% to 89.77%. However, Seltice also has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate (25.8%) compared to the nearby schools, which range from 9.3% to 24.9%. Additionally, Seltice Elementary consistently underperforms the Post Falls District and the state of Idaho in ISAT test scores across all subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in Math (38.5%), Science (36.9%), and English Language Arts (40.8%) all lower than the district and state averages.

The data suggests that Seltice Elementary may be facing socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student performance. The school has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (43.26%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 24.52% to 41.06%. Additionally, the higher student-teacher ratio (18.3) at Seltice compared to the nearby schools (ranging from 16.8 to 20.8) may be contributing to the school's struggles. While Seltice Elementary is part of the same school district as the nearby schools, it consistently underperforms them, indicating that the school may require additional resources or targeted interventions to address the unique needs of its student population and improve student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
