The school has seen consistent performance on state assessments, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science generally exceeding the state averages.

Etna Elementary's academic performance is consistently strong, with proficiency rates in core subjects surpassing the state averages across all grade levels. Compared to the Lincoln County School District #2 average, the school's proficiency rates are slightly lower but still impressive, indicating a well-performing institution within its district. The school also boasts a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.2 to 14.3 over the past three years, suggesting a more personalized learning environment. Additionally, Etna Elementary's spending per student has been consistently higher than the state average, reflecting a commitment to investing in the school's resources and programs.

While Etna Elementary is performing well, the school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 15.44% to 24.71% over the past three years, may indicate potential equity concerns. This finding warrants further investigation to ensure that the school is providing equal educational opportunities and support to all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background. Interestingly, the nearby Star Valley Middle School, which is also part of the Lincoln County School District #2, has a higher statewide ranking and slightly better academic performance than Etna Elementary, suggesting potential opportunities for the school to learn from its neighbor's practices and strategies.

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.
