The school serves a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of % White, % African American, % Hispanic, % Asian, % Native American, % Pacific Islander, and % two or more races.

While West Auburn Senior High School is part of a cluster of alternative schools in the Auburn/Puget Sound region, including Highline Home School Center, PSD Special Services, and others, it significantly underperforms the Auburn School District and the state of Washington in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects.

The low test scores, high free/reduced lunch rates, and alternative school designation indicate that West Auburn Senior High School may be facing significant challenges in serving its student population. However, without more information about the school's statewide ranking history or specific student-teacher ratio, it is difficult to fully assess the factors contributing to its performance. Further investigation would be needed to understand the unique circumstances and needs of this school and the students it serves.

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.
