Summary:
The Rochester School District in Washington state is home to two elementary schools: Rochester Primary School and Grand Mound Elementary. Both schools serve a student population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by their high free and reduced-price lunch rates of over 60%.
Academically, the schools perform below the state average in English Language Arts and Math proficiency, with Grand Mound Elementary generally scoring slightly lower than Rochester Primary School. However, Grand Mound Elementary stands out by outperforming the district and state in 5th grade science proficiency, suggesting a potential area of strength that could be further explored and replicated.
The two schools also differ in their per-student spending, with Rochester Primary School spending $1,824 more per student than Grand Mound Elementary. This funding disparity may warrant further investigation to ensure equitable resource allocation across the Rochester School District.
