Lake Louise Elementary School

Summary:

Lake Louise Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lakewood, Washington, serving 466 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Clover Park School District, which is ranked 183 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lake Louise Elementary has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that is more balanced than nearby schools, which tend to have a larger percentage of White students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (42.44%) and Math (39.92%) were below the state averages of 52.63% and 41.68%, respectively. The school's rankings for different student subgroups vary significantly, with Hispanic students performing relatively well but multi-racial students and special education students struggling. Additionally, Lake Louise Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.79% to 72.1% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools.

Over the past several years, Lake Louise Elementary School's statewide ranking has steadily declined, from 598 out of 1,054 Washington elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 765 out of 1,168 in 2023-2024. When compared to nearby schools in the Clover Park School District, such as Beachwood Elementary School, Lake Louise Elementary generally underperforms, with significantly lower proficiency rates and a lower statewide ranking. The high poverty rates at Lake Louise Elementary may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges, and the district and school leadership should consider targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of the diverse student population.

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.

My son has attended this school for 2 years now and the rating does not do this school justice, at least through to the 2nd grade. Mrs. Collins, the 1st grade teacher is AMAZING and modifies to children and really works with the children. I have never had a bad experience with the teachers and feel the teachers do a great job.

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.
