Summary:
The city of Union Gap, Washington is home to a single school, Union Gap School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 577 students. The school is part of the Union Gap School District, which is ranked 85 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Union Gap School has a predominantly Hispanic student population (85.44%), with smaller percentages of other racial/ethnic groups. Academically, the school's performance on standardized tests is generally below the state averages in both English Language Arts (48.51% proficiency vs. 52.63% state average) and math (42.01% proficiency vs. 41.68% state average). The school's science proficiency rates are also slightly below the state average. These lower academic outcomes may be linked to the school's very high free/reduced lunch rate of 93.24%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's academic challenges, Union Gap School spends $15,615 per student, which is higher than the state average. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.5, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students. Overall, the data suggests that Union Gap School faces significant hurdles in serving its predominantly economically disadvantaged and Hispanic student population, and may require additional resources and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
