Neah Bay Elementary School

Summary:

Neah Bay Elementary School is a public elementary school in Neah Bay, Washington, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. With a small student body of 174 students, the school has a unique demographic, with a majority of Native American (58.05%) and Hispanic (19.54%) students.

Academically, Neah Bay Elementary School performs below the state and district averages on standardized tests, though its performance for Native American students is relatively strong, ranking 2nd out of 6 Washington elementary schools with a high percentage of Native American students. The school also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 87.93% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the state average. Despite the school's high per-student spending of $21,008, which is significantly above the state average, its academic outcomes have not kept pace with the state's overall progress, with the school's statewide ranking declining over the years.

While Cape Flattery School District, which Neah Bay Elementary School is a part of, faces unique challenges due to the remote location and diverse student population, the school's strengths in supporting its Native American students suggest that it may have effective strategies in place. However, addressing the overall academic performance and finding ways to improve student outcomes should be a priority for the school and the 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.
