Skamania Elementary

Summary:

Skamania Elementary is a public elementary school in Stevenson, Washington, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 73 students. The school faces several challenges, including declining enrollment, inconsistent academic performance, and a higher percentage of students from low-income families compared to nearby schools.

Skamania Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of White students (71.23%) compared to nearby schools like Dorothy Fox Elementary in Camas, which has only 63.24% White students. Academically, Skamania Elementary's performance on standardized tests is generally lower than the state average and nearby schools, with only 48% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 24% in math, compared to state averages of 52.63% and 41.68%, respectively. Additionally, Skamania Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (50.68%), significantly higher than the nearby schools.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Skamania Elementary ($24,385 per student in 2021-2022, compared to the state average of around $16,000), the school's academic performance remains below the state average. This raises questions about the effective use of resources and the factors contributing to the school's underperformance. The nearby schools, such as Helen Baller Elementary and Woodburn Elementary, consistently outperform Skamania Elementary on academic measures, suggesting the need for a closer examination of the factors contributing to Skamania Elementary's challenges and the potential for improvement strategies.

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.
