Armin Jahr Elementary

Summary:

Armin Jahr Elementary is a public elementary school in Bremerton, Washington, serving 380 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Bremerton School District, which is ranked 186 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Armin Jahr Elementary faces significant challenges in improving student performance. The school has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (45.79%) compared to the state average (22.7%), and these students consistently underperform their peers in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate for all grades was 32.98%, compared to the district's 37.9% and the state's 52.63%. Additionally, Armin Jahr has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.54% to 82.89% over the past three years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite relatively high spending per student, ranging from $17,643 to $20,553 over the past four years, and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.3 to 13.5 over the past three years, Armin Jahr Elementary's academic performance remains low compared to nearby schools like Woodlands Elementary, John D. Bud Hawk Elementary at Jackson Park, and West Hills S.T.E.M. Academy. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and implement more targeted interventions to address the unique needs of its diverse student population.

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.
