John Rogers Elementary School

Summary:

John Rogers Elementary School is a public elementary school in Seattle, Washington, serving 257 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Seattle School District No. 1, which is ranked 48 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

John Rogers Elementary has a relatively diverse student population, with 44.75% White, 19.84% African American, 14.4% Hispanic, and 12.84% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (52.44%) and Math (56.79%) were below the district (67.59% and 58.68%) and state (52.63% and 41.68%) averages. This may be due in part to the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 42.02% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than nearby schools like Wedgwood Elementary (10.58%) and Thornton Creek Elementary (10.96%).

While the overall performance of John Rogers Elementary is lower than the district and state, the school's White and multi-racial students have performed relatively well, with their proficiency rates ranking in the top 25-30% of Washington elementary schools. However, the school's performance has fluctuated over the years, and it generally underperforms compared to nearby schools like Wedgwood Elementary and Cedar Park Elementary. This suggests that John Rogers Elementary may need to implement targeted interventions and align its curriculum and instructional practices to better support its diverse student population and improve overall academic 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.
