Springbrook Elementary School

Summary:

Springbrook Elementary School is a public elementary school in Kent, Washington, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. With a diverse student population, the school has consistently struggled with academic performance, ranking in the bottom half of Washington elementary schools over the past decade.

Springbrook Elementary's proficiency rates on state assessments lag significantly behind state and district averages, with only 26.14% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 31.25% in Math. The school's performance varies greatly across different student subgroups, with Asian and Hispanic students generally outperforming their African American and White peers. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, coupled with a relatively high student-teacher ratio, suggests that Springbrook may face resource challenges in providing a high-quality education.

When compared to nearby schools, Springbrook Elementary's performance is notably lower than other Kent School District schools, such as Soos Creek Elementary and Glenridge Elementary, as well as Renton School District schools like Benson Hill Elementary and Talbot Hill Elementary, which consistently outperform Springbrook in academic achievement.

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 Springbrook has made significant changes over the past two years. Staff have high expectations for students in a safe and welcoming learning environment. Close Quote

Open Quote This school sucks, They lack funds and leadership. Too much time and money being spent on getting non English speaking students up to grade. while the English speaking students are not receiving a well rounded education. Their failure to provide life sciences, social studies, and humanities makes them very low ranking to me. I feel this school puts too much emphasis on teaching to standardized test than to actually creating a fun positive learning environment that kids want to learn in. Not only that this school utilized harsh and unreasonable behavior management strategies. this is noted by incidents of children being handcuffed in elementary school. 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.
