Dick Scobee Elementary School

Summary:

Dick Scobee Elementary School is a public elementary school in Auburn, Washington, serving around 825 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Auburn School District, which is ranked 166 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of minority students compared to the state average, Dick Scobee Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Washington elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. This is likely due to the fact that a large majority (83.64%) of Dick Scobee's students come from low-income families, as indicated by the high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. Additionally, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 16.8, which may impact the level of individual attention and support students receive.

When comparing Dick Scobee to other elementary schools in the Auburn School District, it consistently underperforms its peers. For example, Hazelwood Elementary, which is just 1.6 miles away, has significantly higher proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science across all grade levels. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as Asian and African American students, who rank in the bottom 20% and bottom 50% of Washington elementary schools, respectively, in terms of ELA and Math proficiency. Over the past several years, Dick Scobee's academic performance has shown a concerning trend of declining proficiency rates, even as the district and state averages have remained relatively stable or improved.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
