English Crossing Elementary

Summary:

English Crossing Elementary is a public elementary school in Marysville, Washington, serving 325 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Lakewood School District, which is ranked 203 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

English Crossing Elementary faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to state and district averages, particularly in math. The school has a higher percentage of Hispanic students and a lower percentage of White students than the state average. While Hispanic students at the school have performed better than the overall student population, the performance of White students and students with special education needs has been in the bottom quarter of Washington elementary schools. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are generally lower than the district and state averages, though its science proficiency rates are higher.

Interestingly, the school's closest neighbor, Lakewood Elementary, has consistently performed worse than English Crossing Elementary across various metrics, while another nearby school, Cougar Creek Elementary, has outperformed English Crossing in many areas. Additionally, English Crossing Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to its lower academic performance. Despite increased per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school has not yet seen significant improvements in student outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and resources may be impacting its performance.

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.
