Pacific Beach Elementary School

Summary:

Pacific Beach Elementary School is a small public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the North Beach School District in Washington. With a diverse student population of around 110 students, the school has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of elementary schools in Washington.

Academically, Pacific Beach Elementary struggles, with only 23.81% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 21.43% proficient in math, far below the state averages. The school's performance is particularly low in math, with 4th and 5th-grade proficiency rates below 30%. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 80% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the state average and the nearby Ocean Shores Elementary school.

While Pacific Beach Elementary has seen a significant increase in spending per student, from $12,669 in 2019-2020 to $23,042 in 2021-2022, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.6 to 15.6 over the past few years, higher than the 13.2 ratio at Ocean Shores Elementary. These factors suggest the need for a more strategic approach to resource allocation and targeted interventions to support the diverse needs of the school's student population.

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.
