Lyman Elementary School

Summary:

Lyman Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lyman, Washington, serving 164 students in grades K-6 as part of the Sedro-Woolley School District. This school consistently outperforms the district and state in academic proficiency, with a particular focus on supporting low-income students.

Lyman Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, with students scoring well above the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 50%, compared to 43.44% for the district and 52.63% for the state. Additionally, the school's low-income students perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 10% of Washington elementary schools for this subgroup. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from a high of 216 out of 1,130 schools in 2018-2019 to 642 in 2023-2024, suggesting it may be struggling to keep pace with improvements in other schools across the state.

Compared to nearby schools, Lyman Elementary generally outperforms other schools in the Sedro-Woolley district, particularly in ELA and Math proficiency. However, some neighboring schools, such as Big Lake Elementary and Clear Lake Elementary, also demonstrate strong academic performance, indicating that the district has pockets of excellence. Additionally, Lyman Elementary's funding has fluctuated over the years, which may impact its ability to maintain its high level of 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.
