Littlerock Elementary School

Summary:

Littlerock Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 355 students in grades PK-5 in the Tumwater School District in Olympia, Washington, located about 7-9 miles from several other elementary schools in the surrounding area.

Littlerock Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the state and district averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency across all grade levels. In 2023-2024, 60.89% of Littlerock students were proficient in ELA compared to 52.63% statewide, and 50.56% were proficient in Math compared to 41.68% statewide. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16:1, compared to higher ratios at nearby schools like East Olympia Elementary (18:1) and the virtual Washington Connections Academy (24.2:1). Additionally, Littlerock Elementary stands out in its performance for Hispanic students and students of low socioeconomic status, ranking in the top quarter and top 47th out of 651 Washington elementary schools, respectively, in ELA proficiency.

However, while Littlerock Elementary has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, its statewide ranking has declined from the top 20% of schools in 2018-2019 to the top 30-40% in more recent years, suggesting the school may be struggling to keep pace with improvements at other schools across the state. Additionally, the school has seen a slight increase in the percentage of Hispanic and multiracial students, while the White student population has declined, mirroring broader demographic trends in the state, though Littlerock still has a significantly higher White student population compared to the state average.

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.
