Hutton Elementary

Summary:

Hutton Elementary is a high-performing public elementary school in Spokane, Washington, serving 528 students in grades PK-6. The school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with students outperforming their peers in the Spokane School District and Washington state on standardized assessments.

Hutton Elementary's academic excellence is evident in its consistently high proficiency rates, which in 2023-2024 were 74.77% in English Language Arts, 73.71% in Math, and 88.16% in Science. However, the school's student population is predominantly white, with 83.14% of students identifying as such in the 2022-2023 school year. This is in contrast to nearby schools like Grant Elementary, which has a more diverse student body. Additionally, Hutton Elementary has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 25% in 2022-2023, compared to Grant Elementary's 85.8%.

While Hutton Elementary's academic performance is impressive, the school's demographic and socioeconomic differences compared to some of its neighbors suggest that there may be opportunities to ensure equitable access to quality education for all students in the Spokane community. The school's higher student-teacher ratio of 15.8 in 2022-2023, compared to 10.5 at Grant Elementary, may also present challenges in terms of individualized attention and support for students. Overall, Hutton Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, but there are areas for the school and the Spokane School District to explore in order to promote greater equity and inclusivity.

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.

Open Quote attended the school from k-6, and while the education i received was amazing, and i am forever grateful for the lessons i have learned, the environment is very closed minded. teachers and students are extremely sexist, and rude to any minority for that matter. conservative teachers forced their values on you, and if your beliefs were any different, you received the punishment. do not come into this school expecting equality.

Open Quote Common Core Implementation is killing this school. New teachers are not concerned about student achievement just what the principal dorects them to do. I have withnessed what goes on as far as assessment levels and they do not match what is reported. Prinicipal is an authoritarian known for excessive puinishment Close Quote

Open Quote This is a terrible school if you don't make enough money to keep up with the "rich kids". Don't expect bullies to be disciplined if your child is the odd man out. Being different is not tolerated here. Close Quote

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.
