Summary:

Terminal Park Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Auburn, Washington, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 345 students. The school is part of the Auburn School District, which is ranked 166 out of 247 districts in Washington and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Terminal Park Elementary has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (30.43%) and Pacific Islander (11.3%) students compared to nearby schools. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by SBAC and WCAS test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (34.71%) and Math (43.09%) were significantly below the state averages (52.63% and 41.68%, respectively). The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White and Asian students performing relatively well, while the school struggles to support the academic achievement of Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and English Language Learner students.

Compared to other elementary schools in the Auburn School District, Terminal Park generally underperforms in academic achievement, with lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math. However, some nearby schools, such as Lakeland Hills Elementary and Bowman Creek Elementary, demonstrate stronger academic performance and higher statewide rankings. The significant performance gaps between different student subgroups at Terminal Park suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address these opportunity gaps.

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.
