Summary:

Longview Elementary is a public elementary school in Moses Lake, Washington, serving 357 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Moses Lake School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Longview Elementary faces significant challenges, with its academic performance generally below the state and district averages across all grades and subjects. The school's SBAC English Language Arts proficiency rate is 40.74%, compared to the state average of 52.63% and the district average of 38.84%. In SBAC Math, Longview's proficiency rate is 45.79%, higher than the district average of 31.26% but still below the state average of 41.68%. The school's performance is particularly low for its Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) student subgroups. Longview Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Washington elementary schools and has received a 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Longview Elementary's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds, with 70.87% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be contributing to its lower academic performance. The school's relatively high per-student spending of $17,025 suggests that additional resources alone may not be the sole solution. Nearby schools, such as Sage Point Elementary, have significantly higher academic performance, with 63.22% of students proficient or better in SBAC English Language Arts. Exploring the factors that contribute to the success of these higher-performing schools could provide valuable insights to help improve Longview Elementary's outcomes.

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.
