White Pass Elementary School

Summary:

White Pass Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Randle, Washington, serving 186 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the White Pass School District, which is ranked 136 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While White Pass Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (83.87%) compared to the state average, its academic performance is generally below state and district benchmarks. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (33.96%) and Math (39.05%) are notably lower than the state averages of 52.63% and 41.68%, respectively. Additionally, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Washington elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, which is lower than the nearby Morton Elementary (2 stars) and Columbia Crest A-Stem Academy (2-3 stars). However, the school has shown improvement in science proficiency, with 59.26% of students proficient or better, which is higher than the state average of 49.73%.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at White Pass Elementary School, ranging from 64.52% to 87.2% over the past three school years, suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income community. This may contribute to the lower academic performance and the need for additional resources and support. While the challenges faced by White Pass Elementary School are significant, the nearby Eatonville School District and Morton School District also struggle to meet state benchmarks, indicating that the educational landscape in the region may require a more comprehensive approach to address the specific needs of the student population.

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.
