Summary:
The Quillayute Valley School District has only one elementary school, Forks Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The district is ranked 233 out of 247 districts in Washington and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in the area.
Forks Elementary School has 341 students, with a diverse racial makeup of 48.68% White, 36.07% Hispanic, and 3.52% Native American. However, the school's academic performance on state assessments (SBAC) is consistently below the state average in both English Language Arts and Math across all grades, with particularly low proficiency rates in 3rd grade. Only 33.61% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 52.63%, and just 18.64% were proficient or better in 3rd grade ELA, compared to the state average of 48.89%.
The high percentage of students (58.36%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Forks Elementary School suggests that the student population faces significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the academic struggles. Despite the lower academic performance, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.1, and its per-student spending of $16,796 is higher than the state average, indicating a focus on providing more individualized attention and support to students. However, these efforts have not yet translated into improved academic outcomes for the school.
