Tenino Elementary School

Summary:

Tenino Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Tenino School District in Tenino, Washington, with a student population of 282 as of the 2022-2023 school year.

Tenino Elementary faces several academic challenges, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (46.24%) and Math (40.14%) below the state averages. However, the school's performance on certain grade-level assessments, such as 3rd grade ELA and Math, is more competitive and closer to or above state averages. The school's 5th grade science scores on the WCAS assessment (49.41%) are also closer to the state average of 56.86%. Tenino Elementary's academic performance is generally lower than that of nearby schools like Centennial Elementary and East Olympia Elementary, which have significantly higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math.

One potential contributing factor to Tenino Elementary's academic challenges is the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 57.45% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This is similar to the situation at Oakview Elementary, another school that struggles with low academic achievement. Addressing the school's academic and socioeconomic disparities could be key to improving overall student outcomes at Tenino Elementary.

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.
