Summary:
The Lake Chelan School District has only one elementary school, Morgen Owings Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 and has 489 students. The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic (57.06%) and economically disadvantaged, with 63.19% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.3 and higher-than-average spending per student of $17,266, Morgen Owings Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Washington elementary schools over the past 3 years, with only 37.29% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 52.63%. This suggests that the school may be facing significant challenges in improving student outcomes, despite the additional resources directed towards it.
Further analysis would be needed to understand the specific factors contributing to the school's underperformance, such as examining trends over time, investigating instructional practices, and exploring community and family engagement efforts. Comparing Morgen Owings Elementary School to other schools with similar demographics and resource levels could also provide valuable insights to help address the needs of this high-needs student population.
