Jason Lee Elementary School

Summary:

Jason Lee Elementary School is a public elementary school in Richland, Washington, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Richland School District. While the school has a higher percentage of white students compared to the state average, it also has a significant Hispanic student population. Academically, Jason Lee's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, with strengths in science but challenges in English Language Arts and Math, particularly for Hispanic and white student subgroups.

Compared to nearby schools in the Richland area, Jason Lee Elementary performs on par or slightly below the district averages, but outperforms some lower-performing schools like Tapteal Elementary and Sacajawea Elementary. The school has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to its academic performance challenges. However, Jason Lee's strengths in supporting students from low-income families and its relatively high science proficiency suggest potential areas for the school to build upon.

Overall, Jason Lee Elementary School faces some academic performance hurdles, particularly in English Language Arts and Math, but also demonstrates strengths that could be leveraged to improve outcomes for its students. Continued efforts to address achievement gaps and support underperforming subgroups, while capitalizing on the school's science proficiency and support for economically disadvantaged students, could help Jason Lee Elementary enhance its educational offerings and better serve the Richland community.

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.
