Manson Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (around 65%) compared to nearby schools, which have a more diverse racial makeup. Academically, the school's performance on SBAC tests is generally lower than state and nearby school averages, with proficiency rates of 43.41% in English Language Arts and 46.51% in Math, falling below the state averages of 52.63% and 41.68%, respectively.

Compared to Waterville Elementary, Orondo Elementary and Middle School, Paul Rumburg Elementary, Pateros Elementary, and Morgen Owings Elementary School, Manson Elementary generally performs worse academically, with lower SBAC proficiency rates and a declining statewide ranking. However, the nearby schools also face their own challenges, such as high percentages of economically disadvantaged students and lower district rankings. Addressing the unique needs of Manson Elementary's student population, including the high percentage of Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students, could be crucial in improving the school's overall 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.
