Summary:
The Newport School District has only one elementary school, Stratton Elementary, which serves students in the area. With a student population of 345, Stratton Elementary has a relatively homogeneous racial makeup, with 90.14% of students identifying as White. The school's student-teacher ratio of 11.7 is slightly lower than the state average, but its academic performance on standardized tests is consistently below state averages in both English Language Arts and Math.
Despite the school's underperformance, Stratton Elementary spends significantly more per student, at $20,643, compared to the state average. This high spending, however, does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes, as the school ranks 883 out of 1,168 elementary schools in Washington and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a relatively low-income student population.
Overall, the analysis of Stratton Elementary suggests that the school faces several challenges, including low academic performance, lack of diversity, and inefficient resource allocation. The Newport School District may need to closely examine the school's performance and implement targeted interventions to improve student outcomes and ensure that all students receive a high-quality education.
