In math, 40.87% of students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 41.68% and the district average of 30.34%. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 697 out of 1,168 Washington elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 875 out of 1,107 in 2020-2021, with a SchoolDigger rating of 2 stars out of 5 being the most common in recent years. Sacajawea's performance for student subgroups, such as special education and low-income students, is particularly concerning, with rankings in the bottom half of Washington elementary schools.

Compared to nearby schools, Sacajawea Elementary's academic performance is generally lower than that of Felida Elementary and Salmon Creek Elementary, which have higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. The school also performs worse than Pleasant Valley Primary, a school in the neighboring Battle Ground School District. Sacajawea's diverse student population and high percentage of students from low-income families may contribute to these academic disparities, despite the school's relatively high per-student spending.

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.
