Naselle-Grays River Valley Elementary

Summary:

Naselle-Grays River Valley Elementary is a public elementary school serving 125 students in grades K-5 in the small town of Naselle, Washington. The school is part of the Naselle-Grays River Valley School District, which is ranked 121 out of 247 districts in the state.

While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and has seen increased spending per student in recent years, it has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on standardized tests. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (38.46%) and Math (35.38%) were significantly lower than the state averages of 52.63% and 41.68%, respectively. This trend has been consistent over the past few years, and the school's statewide ranking has declined from 406 out of 1,130 Washington elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 787 out of 1,168 in 2023-2024. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (55.2% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) is a key factor in its academic performance, though these students perform relatively better than the school's overall population.

Compared to nearby schools like Mike Morris Elementary and Long Beach Elementary School, which have even higher percentages of low-income students, Naselle-Grays River Valley Elementary has a lower student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student. This suggests that the district is investing more resources into the school, which could potentially lead to improved academic outcomes in the future. However, the school will need to continue to address its academic challenges to ensure that all students are receiving a high-quality education.

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.
