Utsalady Elementary

Summary:

Utsalady Elementary is a public elementary school located in Camano Island, Washington, serving 287 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Stanwood-Camano School District, which is ranked 77 out of 247 districts in the state.

While Utsalady Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of White students (82.93%) compared to the state average, its overall academic performance in English Language Arts and Math is lower than the district and state averages. However, the school's 5th-grade students perform better in Science, outpacing the district and state. The school's performance also varies across grade levels, with 5th-grade students outperforming 4th-grade students in ELA. Equity concerns arise from the performance gap between different student groups, such as female and male students, as well as White and non-White students.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Oak Harbor Elementary and Cedarhome Elementary School, Utsalady Elementary generally performs below average. The school's leadership and the Stanwood-Camano School District should closely examine these issues and develop targeted strategies to address the challenges, leveraging the increased resources and low student-teacher ratio to drive improvements in student learning and achievement.

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.
