Mill Plain Elementary School

Summary:

Mill Plain Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 284 students in grades PK-5 in the Evergreen School District in Clark County, Washington. The school has a diverse student population, with 41.9% White, 38.73% Hispanic, and a mix of other racial backgrounds.

Despite increased funding and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Mill Plain Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts, Math, and Science. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 31.14% of Mill Plain students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 39.31% in the district and 52.63% statewide. The school also has a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 70.42% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. As a result, Mill Plain Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Washington elementary schools, receiving a 1 or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

When comparing Mill Plain Elementary to nearby schools in the Evergreen School District, the school's underperformance becomes even more apparent. For example, Fircrest Elementary, located just 1.77 miles away, had higher proficiency rates in both ELA and Math across all grade levels in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests that the challenges faced by Mill Plain Elementary may be unique and require a comprehensive review of the school's instructional practices, resource allocation, and strategies for supporting students from diverse backgrounds.

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.
