Orondo Elementary and Middle School

Summary:

Orondo Elementary and Middle School is a public school serving grades PK-8 in the Orondo School District in Washington, with a student population of 139 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school has a predominantly Hispanic (86.33%) and White (12.23%) student body and has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Washington elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 713 out of 1,169 schools and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Orondo Elementary and Middle School consistently underperforms the state and district averages on standardized tests, with only 32.26% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 27.42% in math, compared to the state averages of 52.63% and 41.68%, respectively. The school also serves a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 82.01% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite increased spending per student, from $18,702 in 2019-2020 to $29,124 in 2021-2022, and a lower student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance has not shown a corresponding improvement.

When compared to nearby schools, such as John Newbery Elementary, which has significantly higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math, Orondo Elementary and Middle School consistently underperforms. The school's performance also varies significantly by subgroup, with Hispanic students and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds ranking in the bottom quarter of Washington elementary schools. Additionally, the school's enrollment has decreased from 139 students in 2022-2023 to 139 students in 2023-2024, suggesting a potential decline in the local population or families choosing to send their children to other schools.

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.
