The school's diverse student population is notable, with 47.11% White, 10.42% African American, 14.61% Hispanic, 11.44% Asian, and 13.7% two or more races. However, the school's performance for its African American and English Language Learner student subgroups lags behind the overall school performance.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Whitman Middle School and Hamilton International Middle School, Jane Addams Middle School performs well academically, but some of these schools, particularly those in the Lake Washington and Shoreline school districts, have even stronger overall academic performance. The school's relatively high per-student spending of $18,356 and low student-to-teacher ratio of 18.1 may contribute to its strong academic outcomes, but there may be opportunities to further optimize its resource allocation.

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.
