Scriber Lake High School

Summary:

Scriber Lake High School is a public high school located in Edmonds, Washington, serving grades 9-12 with a relatively small student population of 181 students. Despite its diverse student body, the school has consistently struggled with low academic performance, high dropout rates, and significant achievement gaps among student subgroups.

Scriber Lake High School ranks in the bottom half of Edmonds School District, which is ranked 76 out of 247 school districts in the state. The school has a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance, with graduation rates ranging from 39.0% to 62.5% over the past 5 years, significantly below the state and district averages. Additionally, the school has very high dropout rates, ranging from 14.0% to 35.9% over the same period, much higher than the state and district averages.

While Scriber Lake High School's Hispanic and special education student subgroups have performed exceptionally well, ranking in the top 27 and top 9 out of 278-212 Washington high schools, respectively, in certain years, the school's overall academic struggles indicate a need for a comprehensive review and improvement plan. Despite its higher per-student spending and smaller student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools like Meadowdale High School and Mountlake Terrace High School, Scriber Lake High School's academic performance does not reflect these investments.

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.
