Paul Rumburg Elementary faces several challenges, including a student population that is significantly more Hispanic (around 50%) compared to the state average (around 25%), and a lower percentage of White students (around 45%) than the state. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Washington elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, which is significantly lower than nearby schools like Cascade Elementary and Vale Elementary, both of which have 4-star ratings. Academically, Paul Rumburg Elementary's performance on SBAC and WCAS tests is consistently below the state and district averages across all grades and subjects, with only 33.96% of students proficient or better in ELA in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 52.63%.

The school also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with around 70% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools. Despite this, Paul Rumburg Elementary has a relatively high spending per student, over $20,000 in recent years, which may indicate challenges in effectively utilizing resources and staffing to improve student outcomes. The widening achievement gap and comparison to higher-performing nearby schools suggest that Paul Rumburg Elementary could benefit from targeted interventions and support programs to address the specific needs of its diverse student population and close the performance gap.

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.
