McLane Elementary School

Summary:

McLane Elementary School is a public elementary school in Olympia, Washington, serving 438 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Olympia School District.

While McLane Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with higher percentages of Hispanic, Asian, and multiracial students, its academic performance, as measured by test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math were 40.49% and 35.44%, respectively, compared to the district's 62.31% and 50.86%. Additionally, McLane's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have declined over the years, from a high of 168th out of 1,054 Washington elementary schools and a 4-star rating in 2017-2018 to a ranking of 791st out of 1,168 schools and a 2-star rating in 2023-2024.

The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing relatively well but White students, Special Education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds performing significantly lower, ranking in the bottom 20-30% of Washington elementary schools. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at McLane has also increased from 28.61% in 2020-2021 to 36.07% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of students from low-income families. These factors suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the school's academic challenges and support the diverse needs of its 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.
