Lakeridge Elementary School

Summary:

Lakeridge Elementary School is a public elementary school in Seattle, Washington, serving 358 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Renton School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, and has a diverse student population with a majority of African American students.

Despite spending more per student than the state average, Lakeridge Elementary consistently underperforms academically, with only 32.39% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 27.27% proficient in math, compared to the district and state averages. The school struggles to support the academic achievement of certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10% for African American students and the bottom 20% for English Language Learners. With 79.89% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds likely contributes to these academic challenges.

Interestingly, Lakeridge Elementary's academic performance is significantly lower than that of nearby schools in the Renton School District, such as Sartori Elementary and Kennydale Elementary, which serve similar demographics but have much higher proficiency rates. Additionally, Lakeridge Elementary's ranking among Washington elementary schools has steadily declined over the past decade, suggesting that the school's challenges have been persistent and may be worsening. These disparities raise concerns about educational equity and the school's ability to provide a high-quality education for all students.

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.
