Harriet Rowley

Summary:

Harriet Rowley is an elementary school in Mount Vernon, Washington, serving 502 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Mount Vernon School District, which is ranked 199 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Harriet Rowley has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (56.97%) compared to the state average (22.7%) and nearby schools like Madison Elementary and Washington Elementary. The school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally lower than the state and district averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 38.72% of Harriet Rowley students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 52.63% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for its Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status student subgroups.

Harriet Rowley's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, from 703 out of 1,107 elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 870 out of 1,168 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.38% to 69.32% over the past three years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While Harriet Rowley's per-student spending has increased significantly, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that systemic challenges related to equity, access to resources, and support for underserved student populations may be key factors impacting the school's 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.
