Trent School

Summary:

Trent School is an elementary school located in Spokane Valley, Washington, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 496. It is part of the East Valley School District, which is ranked 131 out of 247 districts in Washington and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Trent School faces significant challenges in terms of academic achievement, student demographics, and resource allocation. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Washington elementary schools, with a 0-1 star rating from SchoolDigger. Its academic performance, as measured by SBAC and WCAS test scores, is significantly lower than the East Valley School District and the state of Washington averages across all grades and subjects. Trent School has a very high percentage of students (over 80%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of around $18,000, the school's academic performance remains significantly below the district and state averages.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Central Valley and West Valley school districts, such as Trentwood School, Opportunity Elementary, and Sunrise Elementary, generally outperform Trent School academically, even though they serve student populations with similar demographic characteristics. This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics may be contributing to Trent School's persistent low performance, and the school may need a comprehensive review of its educational strategies, resource allocation, and support systems to address the unique needs of 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.
