Summary:

Cusick Junior Senior High School is a public school serving grades 6-12 in Cusick, Washington, with a total enrollment of 134 students. The school is part of the Cusick School District, which is ranked 184 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cusick Junior Senior High School stands out for its significantly higher percentage of Native American students (26.12%) compared to the state average, as well as a higher percentage of Hispanic students (17.91%) and students of two or more races (17.16%). However, the school consistently underperforms the state average in standardized test scores across all subjects and grade levels, with only 14.1% of students proficient or better in SBAC Math, compared to the state average of 41.68%. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 77.7% is also lower than the state average, though it has improved its 0% dropout rate in the 2022-2023 school year.

Cusick Junior Senior High School's academic challenges may be exacerbated by its high percentage of students (85.82%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school also spends significantly more per student ($21,539 in 2021-2022) compared to nearby schools like Jenkins Junior/Senior High and Newport High School, which have higher test scores, graduation rates, and overall school rankings. Addressing these factors through targeted interventions and support services could be crucial for improving Cusick Junior Senior High School's performance.

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.
