Progress Elementary School

Summary:

Progress Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Spokane Valley, Washington, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 231. The school is part of the Central Valley School District, which is ranked 71 out of 247 school districts in Washington and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio, Progress Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of Washington elementary schools, with a ranking between 908-1084 out of 1168-1169 schools over the past 5 years. The school's academic performance, as measured by SBAC/WCAS test scores, is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 31.54% of all students at Progress Elementary were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 57.85% in the district and 52.63% statewide. The school also has a significantly higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 65.37% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023.

Nearby schools within the same district, such as Riverbend Elementary and Greenacres Elementary, consistently outperform Progress Elementary on academic measures, even though they serve similar student populations. This highlights the potential for Progress Elementary to improve its performance by learning from the successful practices of its higher-performing counterparts. The school's declining ranking and persistent achievement gaps suggest the need for a comprehensive review of its instructional practices, resource allocation, and targeted interventions to support its diverse student population and 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.
