Summary:
The Tekoa School District in Washington state has only one elementary school, Tekoa Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's academic performance has been declining over the past three years, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math falling below the state averages. However, the school's 5th-grade ELA proficiency rate and overall science proficiency rate are closer to or on par with the state averages, suggesting potential strengths in these areas.
Tekoa Elementary School has a relatively high percentage of White students (80.58%) and a significant percentage of students from low-income families (46.6% free and reduced-price lunch rate), which may be contributing to the school's academic challenges. Despite higher-than-average spending per student and a lower-than-average student-teacher ratio, the school's resources do not appear to be translating into consistently strong academic performance across all grades and subject areas.
The school's statewide ranking has declined from 385th out of 1,169 Washington elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 769th out of 1,168 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars out of 5 to 2 stars out of 5 over the same period. These trends suggest that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the specific factors impacting student achievement and improve its overall academic performance.
