Silver Star Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Washington elementary schools, with academic performance, as measured by test scores, significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Special Education students, who ranked in the bottom 5% of Washington elementary schools in 2021-2022. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 66.9% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools in the Evergreen School District.

The nearby schools in the Evergreen School District, such as Burnt Bridge Creek Elementary and Sifton Elementary, have significantly higher academic performance and statewide rankings compared to Silver Star Elementary School, despite serving similar student populations in terms of socioeconomic status and racial/ethnic diversity. This suggests that the challenges faced by Silver Star Elementary School may be unique to the school itself and not solely attributable to the demographics of the student body.

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.
