View Ridge Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Washington, with impressive academic performance that significantly outpaces the district and state averages. In 2023-2024, 82.09% of all students at View Ridge were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 67.59% for the district and 52.63% for the state. The school's performance on the WCAS Science assessment is also exceptional, with 76.56% of 5th-grade students scoring proficient or better in 2022-2023, compared to 65.91% for the district and 52.33% for the state. However, the school's performance for special education and low socioeconomic status students is less impressive, ranking in the bottom half of elementary schools in Washington.

Compared to nearby schools, such as John Rogers Elementary, Sacajawea Elementary, and Olympic View Elementary, View Ridge's academic performance is significantly higher. The school also has a relatively homogeneous student population, with a majority of students identifying as White, and a low percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. These factors, combined with the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and increased per-student spending in recent years, may have contributed to its strong academic performance.

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.
