Summary:
The city of Metaline Falls, Washington, is home to a single school, Selkirk Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 124 students. The school is part of the Selkirk School District, which is ranked 52 out of 247 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.
Selkirk Elementary School has a predominantly white student population, with 84.68% of students identifying as white, and a significant Hispanic population at 12.9%. The school's academic performance is slightly below the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Science, but slightly above the district and state averages in Math. However, the school's performance has been declining over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 324 out of 1,169 schools in 2021-2022 to 641 out of 1,168 schools in 2023-2024.
The school has a high percentage of students (66.13%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the higher spending per student ($19,091) and smaller class sizes (student-teacher ratio of 14.4), Selkirk Elementary School's academic performance is still below the district and state averages in several areas, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and class size may be influencing student outcomes.
