Gildo Rey Elementary School

Summary:

Gildo Rey Elementary School is a public elementary school in Auburn, Washington, serving 412 students in grades PK-5. The school faces significant challenges, including a high-needs student population, declining academic performance, and achievement gaps compared to state and district averages.

Gildo Rey has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (62.86%) compared to the state average (22.7%), and its academic performance, as measured by test scores, is generally lower than the Auburn School District and the state. For example, in 2023-2024, only 36.78% of Gildo Rey students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 52.63% statewide. The school's rankings for specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, are in the bottom half of Washington elementary schools, indicating significant achievement gaps. However, Gildo Rey's Hispanic students and English Language Learners perform better relative to their peers statewide, suggesting the school may be providing effective support for these populations.

Despite these challenges, Gildo Rey has a relatively high per-student spending of $20,897 and a low student-teacher ratio of 14.7, which is lower than the nearby Alpac Elementary and Bowman Creek Elementary schools, as well as the state average. This suggests the school is allocating resources to support its students, but more targeted interventions and strategies may be needed to improve overall academic outcomes.

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.
