Halilts Elementary School

Summary:

Halilts Elementary School is a high-performing public elementary school in Bainbridge Island School District, serving grades PK-4 with a student population of 349. The school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Washington, with exceptional academic achievement that significantly outperforms both state and district averages.

Halilts Elementary stands out for its consistently high academic performance, with 75-83% proficiency in English Language Arts and Math on the Smarter Balanced Assessments, compared to state averages around 40-53%. However, the school has a relatively homogeneous student population, with a majority (77-80%) of White students, which is lower than the diversity seen at nearby schools like Suquamish Elementary and Ordway Elementary. Additionally, Halilts Elementary serves a relatively affluent population, with only 2.88% to 8.31% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly lower than the rates at schools like Esquire Hills Elementary.

Halilts Elementary's higher per-student spending, ranging from $14,501 to $20,716, and lower student-teacher ratio, from 12.9 to 14.8, suggest the school is well-resourced and able to provide more individualized attention to students. This may contribute to the school's exceptional academic performance, but it also raises questions about equity in resource distribution across the Bainbridge Island School District and the surrounding region.

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.
