Summary:
The Selkirk School District in Metaline Falls, Washington, has only one elementary school, Selkirk Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 124 students. While the school's student population is predominantly White (84.68%), it also has a significant percentage of Hispanic (12.9%) and multiracial (2.42%) students.
Selkirk Elementary School's academic performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from 324 out of 1,169 schools in 2021-2022 to 782 out of 1,169 in 2022-2023. The school's proficiency rates on the SBAC and WCAS assessments are generally lower than the Selkirk School District and Washington state averages, with the exception of 5th-grade ELA proficiency, which was slightly higher than the state average. This suggests potential academic performance issues, particularly in core subjects like ELA, math, and science.
Despite the school's academic concerns, Selkirk Elementary School has a higher per-student spending level ($19,091) and a lower student-teacher ratio (14.4) compared to state averages. However, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, with 66.13% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This high poverty rate may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance and may require additional support and resources to address the needs of its students.
