Lewis And Clark Elementary School

Summary:

Lewis And Clark Elementary School is a public elementary school in Wenatchee, Washington, serving around 430 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Wenatchee School District, which is ranked 156 out of 247 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Lewis And Clark Elementary faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students, around 70%, and a large majority of students (over 60%) receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a lower socioeconomic status. Academically, Lewis And Clark consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Washington elementary schools, with proficiency rates in SBAC English Language Arts and Math well below the Wenatchee School District and state averages. This performance gap has been widening over the past several years. In contrast, nearby schools like Sunnyslope Elementary and Washington Elementary demonstrate significantly higher academic achievement, with proficiency rates 20-30 percentage points higher than Lewis And Clark.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($17,558 in 2021-2022) compared to the state average, Lewis And Clark's academic outcomes have not improved. The school's low student-teacher ratio of around 14:1 could be an advantage, but this has not translated into better performance. The challenges faced by Lewis And Clark, particularly the underperformance of Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, suggest the need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the root causes of the school's struggles.

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.
