Orchard Prairie Elementary

Summary:

Orchard Prairie Elementary is a small public elementary school in Spokane, Washington, serving 74 students in grades K-7. The school stands out for its consistently high academic performance, outpacing state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency.

Orchard Prairie Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (89.19%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have more diverse student populations. The school also has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 6.76% to 11.11% over the past three years, much lower than the 50% or more seen in nearby schools. Despite these demographic differences, Orchard Prairie Elementary spends the most per student, ranging from $13,593 to $18,885 over the past four years, and maintains a lower student-teacher ratio of 10.2 to 11.3, compared to the surrounding schools' ratios of 10.2 to 16.4.

While Orchard Prairie Elementary's academic performance is impressive, its statewide ranking has declined from a high of 252 out of 1,106 schools in 2012-2013 to 534 out of 1,169 schools in 2022-2023. This could be due to changes in the school's performance or the performance of other schools in the state. The demographic and resource differences compared to the surrounding schools, such as Creekside Elementary School, Alternative Northeast Community Center Preschool, and Whitman Elementary, warrant further investigation to ensure equitable access to educational opportunities for all students in the area.

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.
