Summary:
Wellpinit School District #49 in Washington state is home to a single elementary school, Wellpinit Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance is significantly below average compared to other elementary schools in the state, with a ranking of 1128 out of 1168 schools and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Wellpinit Elementary School has a predominantly Native American student population, with 81.08% of students identifying as such. The school's academic performance is concerning, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science all falling well below the state average. For example, only 15.15% of 3rd-grade students are proficient in ELA, and just 15.38% of 5th-grade students are proficient in Science, compared to state averages of 56.86%. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (95.95%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a relatively high spending per student of $33,624, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also has a low student-teacher ratio of 10.2 to 1, which is lower than the state average. However, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes, suggesting a need for more targeted interventions and a comprehensive approach to addressing the school's challenges.
