Washington Elementary

Summary:

Washington Elementary is a public elementary school located in Wellington, Kansas, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 90 students. The school is part of the Wellington school district, which is ranked 208 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Washington Elementary has shown mixed academic performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 232 to 567 out of 653-678 Kansas elementary schools. However, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school performed better than the Wellington district and the state of Kansas in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics for all grades. The school had 35.55% proficiency in ELA and 62.21% proficiency in Mathematics, compared to 24.56% and 20.7% for the Wellington district, and 33.55% and 31.6% for the state of Kansas. Additionally, the school's performance in Science was also strong, with 50% of students proficient or better, compared to 21.08% for the Wellington district and 32.28% for the state.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Eisenhower Elementary and Lincoln Elementary, Washington Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.5 to 9.4 students per teacher, and higher per-student spending of $11,401 in 2018-2019. This suggests that Washington Elementary may be a relatively stronger-performing school within the Wellington school district. However, the school may need to address the inconsistencies in academic performance across grade levels and continue to support its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

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.
