Frank Wagner Elementary

Summary:

Frank Wagner Elementary is a public elementary school in Monroe School District, serving 564 students in grades PK-5. The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic (58.51%) and White (32.27%), with a high percentage of students (62.93% to 75.53%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Frank Wagner Elementary, ranging from $13,435 to $20,213 over the past few years, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Washington elementary schools. Its proficiency rates in SBAC English Language Arts and Math are significantly lower than the Monroe School District and Washington state averages, particularly for English Language Learner students. In contrast, nearby schools like Maltby Elementary and Salem Woods Elementary in the Monroe School District outperform Frank Wagner Elementary, with higher academic proficiency and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

The data suggests that the high percentage of Hispanic and English Language Learner students at Frank Wagner Elementary may present unique challenges that impact academic achievement, despite the school's relatively high per-student spending. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to identify and address the root causes of the school's underperformance, potentially through collaboration with higher-performing schools in the district and targeted interventions to support the specific needs of the student population.

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.
