Summary:

North Fork Elementary School is a public elementary school in Woodland, Washington, serving 445 students from kindergarten to 4th grade. The school is part of the Woodland School District, which is ranked 124 out of 247 districts in the state.

North Fork Elementary School stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, outpacing both the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency. The school's 4th grade students, in particular, excel, with 58.24% proficient or better in ELA and 60.44% in Math, surpassing their peers at the district and state levels. North Fork's Hispanic and low-socioeconomic status (SES) students also perform well, ranking in the top half of Washington elementary schools. The school's increased per-student spending and relatively low student-to-teacher ratio may contribute to its success.

When compared to nearby schools, North Fork Elementary School outperforms its closest neighbor, Columbia Elementary, in both ELA and Math. However, its performance is mixed when compared to other schools in different districts, such as Captain Strong and South Ridge Elementary. Additionally, North Fork has become more racially diverse over the years, with an increase in Hispanic and multi-racial students, a trend not as pronounced in some of the nearby schools.

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.
