Fairmount Elementary

Summary:

Fairmount Elementary is a public elementary school in Everett, Washington, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Mukilteo School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a significant representation of minority groups, and faces challenges in academic performance compared to district and state averages.

Fairmount Elementary's student racial makeup is more diverse than nearby schools, with higher percentages of African American and Hispanic students. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are significantly lower than the district and state averages, though the school's performance on the WCAS science assessment is notably higher. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 40% of Washington elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Student subgroup performance varies, with multi-racial students and English Language Learners performing the lowest compared to their peers in the state.

Fairmount Elementary serves a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may be a contributing factor to the school's overall lower academic performance. However, the school's exceptional performance on the WCAS science assessment suggests potential strengths that could be leveraged to improve performance in other subject areas. Nearby schools within the Mukilteo School District, such as Columbia Elementary and Endeavour Elementary, demonstrate significantly higher academic achievement, providing opportunities for Fairmount Elementary to learn and improve.

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.

This is wonderful school. It may be old, but the teachers and staff here are amazing. They are really welcoming, professional, friendly, and every year my kids have been here they have loved their teacher and learned so much. Close Quote

I have subbed here for a couple years now. As a former middle school and high school Spanish and English teacher in upstate NY, I feel qualified to give my 5 star approval of the teachers and classrooms I have observed and taught in. The teachers are well-trained and very professional and talented. They work hard and are an asset to their profession. Close Quote

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.
