Summary:

Greenacres Elementary is a public elementary school in Spokane Valley, Washington, serving 606 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Central Valley School District, which is ranked 71 out of 247 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Greenacres performs particularly well with Hispanic students, ranking 89th out of 651 Washington elementary schools in ELA.

While Greenacres has seen a decline in racial diversity in recent years, the school's academic performance has been inconsistent, fluctuating in its ranking within the district.

Comparing Greenacres to higher-performing nearby schools like Continuous Curriculum School could provide valuable insights to help the school improve its overall educational 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.

This school has sooooo many issues with the teachers and administration. The report cards are continually flawed and it's so time consuming to get everything corrected. There are just as many bad teachers as good, so that makes it very unpleasant for the students. They do not academically challenge the students enough. Close Quote

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.
