Mike Morris Elementary

Summary:

Mike Morris Elementary is a public elementary school in South Bend, Washington, serving 294 students in grades K-6 and part of the Raymond School District, which is ranked 173 out of 247 districts in the state.

While the school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (44.9%) compared to the state average (22.7%), it consistently underperforms the state in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 45.45% compared to the state's 52.63%, and its Math proficiency rate was 26.62% compared to the state's 41.68%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing relatively better than the overall school, but White students and male students performing significantly worse. Additionally, over 75% of the students at Mike Morris Elementary qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

When compared to nearby schools, Mike Morris Elementary generally performs worse than Naselle-Grays River Valley Elementary and Willapa Elementary, which have higher academic proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. However, it performs better than Ocean Park Elementary and Raymond Elementary, which are also struggling schools. The fluctuations in per-student spending at Mike Morris Elementary suggest potential issues with resource allocation and the efficient use of available funds, which could be an area for improvement.

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.
