Dunlap Elementary School

Summary:

Dunlap Elementary School is a public elementary school in Seattle, Washington, serving 290 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Seattle School District No. 1, which is ranked 48th out of 247 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Dunlap Elementary has a diverse student population, with a significantly higher percentage of African American (33.1%) and Asian (26.55%) students compared to the state average. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by SBAC/WCAS proficiency rates, is consistently lower than the Seattle School District and Washington state averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 47.06% of Dunlap students were proficient in ELA, compared to 67.59% in the district and 52.63% statewide. Interestingly, Dunlap's African American and English Language Learner (ELL) students perform relatively better compared to their peers at the state level.

Dunlap's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (78.97% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch) and fluctuating spending per student may be contributing factors to its relatively lower academic performance compared to nearby schools like Rainier View Elementary, Orca K-8, and Dearborn Park International School, which have higher proficiency rates and better overall rankings. However, Dunlap's performance has shown some improvement over the years, and the school's diverse student population and strong performance of certain subgroups suggest opportunities for further growth and development.

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.
