Des Moines Elementary

Summary:

Des Moines Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Highline School District in Des Moines, Washington, with a diverse student population of over 500 students.

While Des Moines Elementary consistently outperforms the district average in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency, the school has struggled to support its special education and English learner student populations, ranking in the bottom half of Washington elementary schools. The school's White and African American students perform particularly well compared to other schools, but its Asian, Hispanic, and multi-racial students lag behind. Socioeconomic challenges, with 60% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contribute to the school's academic struggles, which have worsened over time as its statewide ranking has declined.

When compared to nearby schools, Des Moines Elementary generally outperforms lower-performing schools like Bow Lake Elementary and Madrona Elementary, but lags behind higher-performing schools like Marvista Elementary and North Hill Elementary. The school's relatively high student-teacher ratio and fluctuating per-student spending suggest the need for continued investment and targeted interventions to improve academic outcomes for all 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.
