Ridgeview Elementary

Summary:

Ridgeview Elementary is a public elementary school in Spokane, Washington, serving 304 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Spokane School District, which is ranked 123 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Ridgeview Elementary faces several challenges, including lower test scores and a declining statewide ranking. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (40.14%) and Math (32.19%) are significantly below the Spokane School District (48.46% and 38.41%) and Washington state (52.63% and 41.68%) averages. Additionally, the school's student subgroups, such as female students and Hispanic students, have consistently lower rankings compared to their peers in the state. Ridgeview Elementary also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.11% to 72.7%, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools.

While Ridgeview Elementary's performance is generally lower than the district and state averages, some nearby schools, such as Westview Elementary and Balboa Elementary, have significantly higher test scores and statewide rankings. This suggests that factors beyond the district and state-level metrics may be contributing to the differences in school performance. Addressing the challenges faced by Ridgeview Elementary will likely require a comprehensive approach that considers the school's unique student population and the resources needed to support their academic and social-emotional needs.

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.
