Zillah Intermediate School

Summary:

Zillah Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Zillah School District, with a student population of 264 and a predominantly Hispanic (61.36%) and White (29.17%) student body.

Zillah Intermediate School is a high-performing school, with academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math that exceed the district and state averages. The school's Hispanic students, in particular, consistently outperform their peers across Washington, ranking in the top 25% of elementary schools for this subgroup. However, the school also serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 78.03% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this challenge, Zillah Intermediate School's academic success may be attributed to its relatively low student-teacher ratio, which allows for more individualized attention and support.

When compared to nearby schools, Zillah Intermediate School stands out. For example, Adams Elementary in the Wapato School District had only 18.13% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to Zillah Intermediate School's 51.36%. This suggests that Zillah Intermediate School is a strong educational institution within its district, providing a high-quality learning environment for its diverse 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.
