South Shore Pk-8 School

Summary:

South Shore Pk-8 School is a public elementary and middle school in Seattle, Washington, serving 602 students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly African American (45.35%) and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (69.77% receive free or reduced-price lunch).

Academically, South Shore Pk-8 School consistently underperforms the state and Seattle School District No. 1 averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts and Math. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 38.44% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 52.63% statewide and 67.59% in the district. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past decade, from 617th out of 1,054 elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 867th out of 1,168 in 2023-2024. Nearby schools, such as Graham Hill Elementary and Rainier View Elementary, also struggle with low academic performance, but not to the same extent as South Shore Pk-8 School, suggesting that the challenges may be more systemic.

Despite a significant increase in per-student spending at South Shore Pk-8 School, from $15,688 in 2019-2020 to $26,594 in 2021-2022, the additional resources have not yet translated into improved academic outcomes. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with some grades and subject areas performing better than others. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and the significant achievement gaps for certain student subgroups, such as African American and Asian students, may be contributing factors to the school's overall academic challenges, requiring a comprehensive approach to address the underlying issues.

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.
