Despite being part of the lower-ranked Marysville School District, Cedarcrest School stands out as a relatively high-performing institution with a diverse student population and strong academic outcomes.

Cedarcrest School consistently outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency, with its student subgroups, such as Asian, Hispanic, and Multi-racial students, also performing better than their respective state averages. The school's exceptional performance in serving its homeless student population is particularly noteworthy, with Cedarcrest ranking 1st out of 27 Washington middle schools in 2020-2021 and 14th out of 33 in 2021-2022 for this subgroup.

Despite Cedarcrest School's strong academic performance, the school faces potential challenges related to funding and resources. The school's fluctuating spending per student and relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggest that it may need to address these issues to maintain and improve its academic performance over time. Overall, Cedarcrest School stands out as a bright spot within the Marysville School District, providing a quality education to its diverse student population, but may need additional support to continue its success.

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.
