Robert Frost Elementary

Summary:

Robert Frost Elementary is a public elementary school in Pasco, Washington, serving 502 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Pasco School District, which is ranked 214 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Robert Frost Elementary stands out for several key reasons. It has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (over 90%) compared to nearby schools, which have more diverse racial compositions. Academically, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Washington elementary schools, with 0 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are well below the Pasco School District and state averages. The school struggles across various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10-30% for female students, male students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Interestingly, the nearby James McGee Elementary and Mark Twain Elementary have significantly higher academic performance and better student outcomes, despite serving similar student populations. Additionally, Robert Frost Elementary has a relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $10,760 to $16,991 over the past few years, suggesting that funding is not the primary issue affecting the school's performance. The school's consistently low performance and lack of improvement over time indicate a need for a more comprehensive and sustained approach to school improvement.

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.
