Summit Valley School

Q: Is Summit Valley School a good school?

Summit Valley School ranks 568 th of 1168 Washington elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Summit Valley School is an elementary school located in Addy, Washington, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 81 students. The school is part of the Colville School District, which is ranked 104 out of 247 districts in Washington and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Summit Valley School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (64.2%) compared to the surrounding schools, such as Columbia Virtual Academy (59.68%), its academic performance is a concern. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (25%) and Math (26.79%) for all grades are significantly below the state averages of 52.63% and 41.68%, respectively. Additionally, Summit Valley School has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 66.67% to 85.71% over the past three years, which is higher than nearby schools like Gess Elementary (67.58%).

Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Summit Valley School, ranging from $19,379 to $20,594 over the past three years, the school's academic performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating significantly over the years. This suggests that the school may face unique challenges in serving its student population and improving academic outcomes, especially when compared to the nearby schools in the Colville School District and other surrounding districts.

I love the mix of students, all different income levels and all different scholastic abilities and how the teachers, the principle, and even the bus drivers are able to integrate and facilitate a positive learning environment and respect for each other and the kids. 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.
