Summary:
The Orondo School District in Washington state has only one school, Orondo Elementary and Middle School, which serves grades PK-8. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance and a high-poverty student population.
Orondo Elementary and Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (32.26%), Math (27.42%), and Science (28.57% for all grades, 35.29% for 5th grade) are all well below the state averages. The school has been ranked in the bottom third of Washington elementary schools for the past three years. Despite high spending per student ($29,124) and a low student-teacher ratio (11.5 to 1), the school's academic outcomes remain poor, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to the challenges.
The school serves a predominantly Hispanic (86.33%) and economically disadvantaged (82.01% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch) student population. Addressing the needs of this high-poverty community will likely require a multifaceted approach, including targeted interventions, professional development, and community partnerships. Analyzing the school's data in more depth and comparing it to similar schools could provide additional insights to guide improvement efforts and help the school better serve its students.
