Summary:
The Mount Adams School District in Washington state contains only one elementary school, Harrah Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Despite the district's small size, the performance of Harrah Elementary is concerning, as it consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state.
Harrah Elementary has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of Hispanic and Native American students, as well as a significant number of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The school's test scores are alarmingly low, with only around 10% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Math, compared to the state averages of over 50% and 40%, respectively. This poor academic performance is reflected in the school's 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and its ranking of 1163 out of 1168 elementary schools in Washington.
While Harrah Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes. The school's consistently low performance suggests that the Mount Adams School District may need to implement targeted interventions and support to address the underlying factors contributing to the school's struggles, such as teaching practices, curriculum, and support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
