Quil Ceda Tulalip Elementary

Summary:

Quil Ceda Tulalip Elementary is a public elementary school in Tulalip, Washington, serving 503 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Marysville School District, which is ranked 177 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Quil Ceda Tulalip Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of Native American students (32.41%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 0.49% to 9.6%. However, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Washington elementary schools, with 0-star ratings from SchoolDigger for the past several years. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are significantly lower than the Marysville School District and Washington state averages. The school's student subgroups, such as Hispanic, Native American, and low socioeconomic status students, also perform poorly compared to their peers in the state, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Washington elementary schools.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($22,831 in 2021-2022) than the surrounding schools, which range from $15,317 to $22,783 per student, Quil Ceda Tulalip Elementary is not achieving the desired academic outcomes. The school's persistent low performance and unique challenges, such as the high percentage of students from low-income families and its proximity to the Tulalip Reservation, suggest that a more targeted approach is needed to address the specific needs of the student population. In comparison, the surrounding Grove Elementary, Kellogg Marsh Elementary School, and other nearby schools in the Marysville School District generally have higher academic proficiency rates and better 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.
