Quartzite Learning

Summary:

Quartzite Learning is an alternative public school in Chewelah, Washington, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 118 students. The school is part of the Chewelah School District, which is ranked 170 out of 249 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Quartzite Learning faces several challenges, including a significantly higher percentage of white students (83.05%) compared to the state average (65.89%), fluctuating graduation rates ranging from 56% to 78.5% over the past few years, and high dropout rates as high as 22.2% in 2022-2023. Academically, Quartzite Learning students perform below the state and district averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency on the SBAC assessments. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.51% to 72.88%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, Quartzite Learning's performance is generally lower than the nearby alternative schools, such as Home Pride and Panorama School, in terms of academic proficiency, graduation rates, and dropout rates. The school's higher per-student spending compared to the state average does not seem to be translating into better academic performance, suggesting a need to evaluate the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and identify areas for improvement.

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.
