George T. Daniel Elementary School

Summary:

George T. Daniel Elementary School is a public elementary school in Kent, Washington, serving 529 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Kent School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of minority students compared to the state average, but it consistently underperforms academically compared to the district and state.

George T. Daniel Elementary School's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math significantly lower than the Kent School District and the state of Washington. The school's performance also varies greatly across different student groups, with Hispanic students performing better than the overall school but still below district and state averages, and White students performing at a 0% proficiency rate. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (79.4%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to nearby schools in the Kent School District, George T. Daniel Elementary School generally underperforms. For example, Millennium Elementary School, located just 1.57 miles away, had significantly higher ELA and Math proficiency rates in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's declining performance and equity concerns suggest that it may require additional support and resources to improve educational outcomes for its diverse student population.

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.
