Lind Elementary School

Summary:

Lind Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lind, Washington, serving 116 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Lind School District, which is ranked 207 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lind Elementary School faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school has a higher percentage of White students (61.21%) compared to nearby Warden Elementary (20.3%) and Ritzville Grade School (79.87%), as well as a significant Hispanic student population (37.93%). However, Lind Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Washington elementary schools, with a 1 or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. The school's student proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are significantly lower than the state averages and the nearby schools.

The challenges facing Lind Elementary School may be related to its high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 75% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and fluctuating spending per student may indicate staffing and resource challenges that could be impacting its ability to provide a high-quality education. While the nearby Warden School District and Ritzville School District are also facing challenges, they appear to be performing better than Lind Elementary School, suggesting that there may be opportunities for the school to learn from its neighbors' practices and strategies.

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.
