Todd Beamer High School

Summary:

Todd Beamer High School is a public high school in Federal Way, Washington, serving 1,302 students in grades 9-12. 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.

Todd Beamer High School stands out for its diverse student population, with a racial makeup that is more varied than nearby Decatur High School and Federal Way High School. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than state and district averages. For example, only 51.89% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in SBAC/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 66.2%. The school's four-year graduation rate has also declined, from 88.4% in 2018-2019 to 81.7% in 2022-2023, while the dropout rate has increased from 6.8% to 10.3% during the same period.

One significant factor contributing to Todd Beamer High School's challenges may be the high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 70.51% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This is higher than the nearby Decatur High School (63.68%) and Federal Way High School (75.37%). The school's data also reveals significant disparities in academic achievement among different racial groups, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to address these challenges.

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.

Open Quote According to the University of Washington this is one of the least successful high schools in the State and yet the parents don't seem to care!

They continue to believe that since it is the newest it is the best in the area.

SAT results suggest that they are delusional. Close Quote

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.
