Olympic View Elementary School

Summary:

Olympic View Elementary School is a public elementary school in Federal Way, Washington, serving 423 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Federal Way School District, which is ranked 213 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Olympic View Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Washington elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. The school's proficiency rates in SBAC English Language Arts and Math are significantly lower than the district and state averages, often by 15-20 percentage points, particularly for Hispanic, African American, and English Language Learner student subgroups. Despite relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, the school has struggled to translate these resources into improved academic performance.

Comparing Olympic View to nearby schools, such as Lake Grove, Panther Lake, and Silver Lake Elementary, reveals that these higher-performing schools generally have similar student demographics, suggesting that factors beyond just student population may be contributing to the academic challenges at Olympic View. Interestingly, schools outside the Federal Way School District, such as Crescent Heights and N.E. Tacoma Elementary in the Tacoma School District, also outperform Olympic View, indicating that district-level factors may play a role in the school's persistent underperformance.

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.
