Best Public Schools in Bow, WA


Summary:

The city of Bow, Washington is home to two elementary schools: Allen Elementary and Edison Elementary. While both serve students in grades K-5, the data reveals a stark contrast in their performance and student demographics.

Edison Elementary stands out as the higher-performing school, ranking 353 out of 1,168 Washington elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Allen Elementary is ranked 1,120 out of 1,168 schools with a 0-star rating. Edison Elementary consistently outperforms the Burlington-Edison School District and the state of Washington on standardized test scores, while Allen Elementary struggles to meet these benchmarks.

The demographic differences between the two schools may contribute to the performance gap. Allen Elementary serves a predominantly Hispanic student population (63.61%), with a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (83.42%), compared to Edison Elementary, which has a majority White student population (78.95%) and a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students (36.84%). Despite the higher spending per student at Allen Elementary, the data suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and parental involvement, may play a significant role in student achievement.
