Olympic View Elementary

Summary:

Olympic View Elementary is a public elementary school in Oak Harbor, Washington, serving students from kindergarten to 4th grade. With a diverse student population and a focus on supporting students from low-income backgrounds, this school faces both strengths and challenges in its academic performance.

One of the key strengths of Olympic View Elementary is its racial diversity, with a student body that is 45.15% White, 25.51% Hispanic, 7.22% African American, 4.97% Asian, and 15.58% two or more races. This diversity is higher than nearby schools like Hillcrest Elementary and Coupeville Elementary School, which have a higher percentage of White students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by SBAC test scores, is generally lower than the Oak Harbor School District and state averages, with only 51.97% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 40.63% in Math.

Another key factor is the school's socioeconomic status, with 63.66% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the nearby Hillcrest Elementary (30.48%) and Coupeville Elementary School (47.25%). This high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds may contribute to the school's academic challenges. However, Olympic View Elementary does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.2 students per teacher, which could be an advantage in supporting student learning.

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.
