Suquamish Elementary School

Summary:

Suquamish Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the North Kitsap School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a significant Native American presence and high rates of economic disadvantage.

Suquamish Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, dropping from a high of 260 out of 1,130 Washington elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 656 out of 1,168 in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school has some bright spots, such as its 3rd grade students outperforming the district and state in both English Language Arts and Math in the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, the school's Hispanic and Native American students have performed relatively well compared to their peers statewide. Nonetheless, the school's special education students have struggled, ranking in the bottom 10% of Washington elementary schools in 2022-2023 and 2021-2022.

Compared to nearby schools like Vinland Elementary, Hilder Pearson Elementary, and Poulsbo Elementary, Suquamish Elementary's performance lags behind, with lower test scores, higher free/reduced lunch rates, and worse statewide rankings. The school's steady decline in statewide ranking over the past several years is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation and intervention.

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.
