Yacolt Primary

Summary:

Yacolt Primary is an elementary school located in Yacolt, Washington, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 734 students. It is part of the Battle Ground School District, which is ranked 87 out of 247 districts in Washington and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Yacolt Primary stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, particularly in Math, where it exceeds the district and state averages by a wider margin. For example, in 2023-2024, Yacolt Primary had 56.97% of students proficient or better in Math, compared to 39.9% for the district and 41.68% for the state. The school's female students also consistently outperform their male counterparts, ranking higher in the state for both ELA and Math. However, Yacolt Primary's special education students have historically struggled, ranking in the bottom half of the state.

One notable aspect of Yacolt Primary is its racial homogeneity, with over 92% of its students being white, which contrasts with the more diverse student populations at the surrounding schools, such as Glenwood Heights Primary and York Elementary School. This may suggest the need to explore strategies to better serve and support students from underrepresented racial and ethnic backgrounds. Additionally, the school's increase in per-student spending, from $10,122 in 2019-2020 to $14,841 in 2021-2022, and its relatively low student-teacher ratio indicate that it is well-resourced compared to other schools in the Battle Ground School District.

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.
