Satus Elementary

Summary:

Satus Elementary is a public elementary school in Wapato, Washington, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 333 students. The school is part of the Wapato School District, which is ranked 243 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Satus Elementary faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Washington elementary schools over the past 5 years. The school's performance on state assessments is well below the state and district averages, particularly for its Native American and Special Education student subgroups. With 92.19% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Satus Elementary has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, higher than the nearby Camas Elementary, Adams Elementary, and Simcoe Elementary schools, which have similar demographic profiles but generally perform better on state assessments.

While the increased per-student spending at Satus Elementary, from $12,183 in 2019-2020 to $18,375 in 2021-2022, presents an opportunity to invest in targeted interventions and resources, the data suggests that the school faces significant challenges in providing a quality education. Addressing the specific needs of the school's diverse student population, particularly its Native American and Special Education students, will be crucial for driving meaningful progress and improving academic outcomes.

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.
