Washington Elementary School

Summary:

Washington Elementary School is a public elementary school in Wenatchee, Washington, serving 494 students in grades K-5. The school consistently outperforms the Wenatchee School District and the state of Washington in academic performance, with particularly strong results in math and science.

Washington Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students and a lower percentage of White students. The school also serves a significant number of low-income students, with 45.55% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, the school has seen a significant increase in spending per student, from $10,697 in 2019-2020 to $16,878 in 2021-2022, which may be contributing to its strong academic performance.

While Washington Elementary outperforms the Wenatchee School District as a whole, it is not the top-performing school in the immediate area. Cascade Elementary, which is part of the Eastmont School District, consistently outperforms Washington Elementary in both English Language Arts and Math. However, Washington Elementary's performance is particularly impressive when compared to other nearby schools with higher percentages of low-income and minority students, such as Abraham Lincoln Elementary, Mission View Elementary, and Lewis and Clark Elementary, which tend to have lower academic performance.

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.
