Forks Elementary School

Summary:

Forks Elementary School is a public elementary school in Forks, Washington, serving students from kindergarten to 4th grade as part of the Quillayute Valley School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that has shifted in recent years, now comprising 48.68% White, 36.07% Hispanic, 3.52% Native American, and 9.38% two or more races.

Academically, Forks Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on standardized tests, with only 33.61% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 35.25% proficient or better in math. The school also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 58.36% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.1 and higher per-student spending of $16,796, the academic outcomes have not significantly improved over time.

The declining academic performance at Forks Elementary School is a concern, and the school and district leadership may need to explore more effective instructional strategies, targeted interventions, and a more strategic approach to resource allocation to better support the diverse needs of the student population and improve learning outcomes.

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.
