York Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly among its Hispanic and English Language Learner students.

For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 45.21% of York Elementary students were proficient or better in SBAC/English Language Arts, compared to 39.31% for the district and 52.63% for the state. York Elementary's Hispanic students and English Language Learner students also perform exceptionally well, ranking 147th out of 633 Washington elementary schools and 13th out of 333 Washington elementary schools, respectively, in SBAC/English Language Arts. However, the school may need to address achievement gaps among its White and multi-racial students, who have lower rankings compared to their peers statewide.

When compared to nearby schools in the Evergreen School District, such as Emerald Elementary School and Burnt Bridge Creek Elementary School, York Elementary generally outperforms them in academic performance, particularly in SBAC/English Language Arts and SBAC/Math. The school's consistent academic performance over the years, even as the state and district averages have fluctuated, is also noteworthy. However, the variability in York Elementary's funding, ranging from $9,917 to $19,617 per student, may impact the school's ability to consistently provide resources and support for its students.

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.
