Summary:
The 98220 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Acme Elementary, which serves grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 203 students. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to the state average, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is consistently below the state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Math.
Acme Elementary's student population is predominantly White (65.52%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (14.29%), Native American (8.87%), and students of two or more races (9.85%). The school also has a high percentage of students (49.26%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of students from low-income families. This socioeconomic challenge may contribute to the school's academic performance issues and require additional support and resources to address.
Despite the school's lower academic rankings and 1-out-of-5-star SchoolDigger rating, the data suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement. By analyzing the school's performance trends over time and comparing it to similar schools in the Mount Baker School District or the state, the school could develop a comprehensive improvement plan that leverages its lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending to implement targeted interventions and support programs aimed at boosting academic outcomes for its students.
