Maplewood Elementary

Summary:

Maplewood Elementary is a public elementary school in Puyallup, Washington, serving 351 students in grades PK-6. As part of the Puyallup School District, which is ranked 88 out of 247 school districts in the state, Maplewood has some unique characteristics that set it apart from nearby schools.

Maplewood Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (65.81%) compared to surrounding schools, which range from 39.21% to 61.56% White students. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the district and state averages, though its science proficiency rates are higher. Interestingly, female students, multi-racial students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform better at Maplewood than their respective state averages, while White students perform lower than the state average for that subgroup.

Despite having higher per-student spending and a slightly higher student-teacher ratio than the district and state, Maplewood's academic performance still lags behind. This suggests the school may need to evaluate the effectiveness of its resource allocation and explore ways to optimize support for its diverse student population, particularly in the areas of English Language Arts and Mathematics. By building on the school's strengths, such as its science proficiency and the performance of certain student subgroups, Maplewood can work to improve overall academic achievement.

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.
