View Ridge Elementary Arts Academy

Summary:

View Ridge Elementary Arts Academy is a public elementary school in Bremerton, Washington that serves 398 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. 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.

View Ridge has a relatively diverse student population, with over 50% White, 22% Hispanic, and 14% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is generally below the state and district averages. In 2023-2024, only 36% of students were proficient in English Language Arts and 36% in math, compared to 53% and 42% statewide, respectively. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students and male students performing particularly poorly. Additionally, View Ridge has a high percentage of students (68%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Crownhill Elementary in the Central Kitsap School District, View Ridge's academic performance is generally lower. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past several years, suggesting it is struggling to keep up with other schools in the state. While View Ridge's per-student spending has fluctuated, the school's student-teacher ratio is slightly higher than nearby schools, which may indicate a need for additional resources and support to help improve student outcomes.

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.
