Olympic Hills Elementary School

Summary:

Olympic Hills Elementary School is a public elementary school in Seattle, Washington, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Seattle School District No. 1, which is ranked 48th out of 247 districts in the state.

While Olympic Hills Elementary has seen fluctuating academic performance over the years, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math that are lower than the district and state averages, the school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, is stronger. The school serves a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, with 55.31% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. However, the school's spending per student is higher than the national average, and it maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, suggesting that students may receive more individualized attention and support.

When compared to nearby schools in the Seattle School District, such as John Rogers Elementary School and Sacajawea Elementary School, Olympic Hills Elementary School generally performs on par or slightly below in terms of academic proficiency rates. However, the school's performance for specific student subgroups is often stronger than its nearby counterparts.

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.
