Toutle Lake Elementary

Summary:

Toutle Lake Elementary is a public elementary school in Toutle, Washington, serving around 390 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Toutle Lake School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Toutle Lake Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (83.59%) compared to nearby schools, which have more diverse student populations. The school's academic performance, as measured by test scores, is generally lower than the state averages across all grades and subjects, though it is often on par with or slightly better than the Toutle Lake School District average. Toutle Lake Elementary's rankings for specific student groups, such as female students, male students, white students, special education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, are in the bottom half of Washington elementary schools, indicating potential challenges in supporting these populations. The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 361 out of 1,054 Washington elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 624 out of 1,168 in 2023-2024.

While Toutle Lake Elementary's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than the Toutle Lake School District average, it lags behind many of the nearby schools in the Longview, Kelso, Toledo, and Castle Rock school districts, particularly in areas such as English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates. These findings suggest that Toutle Lake Elementary may need to focus on addressing the unique needs and challenges faced by its diverse student populations to improve their academic outcomes and provide a more equitable and inclusive learning environment.

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 Toutle lake is a very good school with excellent teachers. All the teachers in elementary are so nice but they make sure that you keep a steady pace when it comes to work. All the teachers like to have fun but they also like to make sure that you don't get side tracked and you keep doing your work. Toutle is also very good when it comes to sports. Toutle has excellent coaches for football, baseball, basketball, track, and softball. All of the coaches are dedicated to win but they also care about there players. Well that's all I have to say about the wonderful school of the Toutle Lake Fighting Ducks 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.
