Summary:
The Auburn School District in Washington is home to 16 elementary schools that serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The schools vary in size, with student populations ranging from 345 to 825, and offer a diverse educational experience across the district.
Several schools stand out as high-performing, including Willow Crest Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, and Bowman Creek Elementary and Lakeland Hills Elementary, which also demonstrate impressive academic performance with proficiency rates exceeding 50% in both English Language Arts and Math. In contrast, schools like Dick Scobee Elementary and Washington Elementary have proficiency rates below 30% in both subjects, highlighting the variation in academic achievement within the district.
The data also reveals a potential correlation between a school's socioeconomic status, as measured by free and reduced-price lunch rates, and its academic performance. Schools with higher percentages of students from low-income families tend to have lower proficiency rates, suggesting that socioeconomic factors play a significant role in student success. Additionally, the higher-performing schools generally have lower student-teacher ratios and higher per-student spending, indicating the importance of adequate resources and staffing in supporting student achievement.
