Summary:
The Creston School District in Washington state has only one elementary school, Creston Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, lags behind the district and state averages.
Creston Elementary's student population is predominantly White (80%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic, African American, Native American, and multiracial students. The school has a high rate of students (57.78%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student body. Despite the school's investment in resources, its proficiency rates in English Language Arts (50%), Math (34.62%), and Science (45.45%) are lower than the Creston School District and the state of Washington as a whole.
The analysis of Creston Elementary suggests that the school is facing unique challenges that are not being adequately addressed at the district or state level. The school's declining performance over the past several years, coupled with the high spending and low student-teacher ratio, raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources within the school. Addressing these issues and implementing targeted strategies to support student achievement and equity may be crucial for improving the educational outcomes of the students at Creston Elementary.
