ACES High School

Summary:

ACES High School is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in Everett, Washington, part of the Mukilteo School District. With just 145 students, the school has a diverse racial makeup but consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in the state, struggling with low academic achievement, graduation rates, and high dropout rates.

ACES High School's academic performance is significantly below state and district averages across standardized tests, and its graduation rates range from 47.4% to 64.7% over the past five years, much lower than the surrounding schools. The school serves a high-need population, with 77.93% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, the nearby Kamiak High School consistently ranks among the top high schools in the state, highlighting the disparities in educational outcomes within the same district.

The data suggests that ACES High School and the Mukilteo School District need to closely examine the factors contributing to the school's underperformance and develop targeted strategies to address the academic, social, and emotional needs of its diverse student population. Collaboration with high-performing schools and the implementation of evidence-based practices for supporting at-risk students could be potential avenues for improvement to help ACES High School better serve its community.

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.
