Echo Loder Elementary School

Summary:

Echo Loder Elementary School is a public elementary school in Reno, Nevada, serving 387 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Washoe County School District, which is ranked 4 out of 12 in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, Echo Loder faces significant challenges. The school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (74.94%) compared to nearby schools, and it has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Nevada elementary schools over the past 6 years, placing it among the lowest-performing in the state. Echo Loder's proficiency rates in SBAC Mathematics and Reading are significantly lower than the district and state averages, with only 15.9% of students proficient in Mathematics in 2022-2023, compared to 33.6% in the district and 31.3% statewide. Additionally, 100% of Echo Loder's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very high level of economic disadvantage.

Interestingly, the nearby Jessie Beck Elementary and Mount Rose K-8 Academy Of Languages have significantly higher academic performance, with proficiency rates in the 60-70% range for Mathematics and Reading. This highlights the stark contrast in educational outcomes between Echo Loder and the higher-performing schools in the same district. Despite consistent funding and a 4-star district rating, Echo Loder's performance has not shown significant improvement over the past 6 years, suggesting that more targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the unique needs of its student population and improve educational 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.
