Washington Elementary School

Summary:

Washington Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Marysville, Michigan, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 449. The school is part of the Marysville Public Schools district, which is ranked 73 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Washington Elementary stands out for having a significantly higher percentage of white students (90.42%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have more diverse student populations. The school's academic performance, as measured by M-Step proficiency rates, is generally higher than the Marysville Public Schools district average and the state average, particularly in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Math. However, the school's performance declines in the upper grades, with 4th and 5th-grade proficiency rates falling below the district and state averages. Additionally, Washington Elementary has experienced a fluctuating chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 8.6% in 2020-2021 to 30.5% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the nearby Gardens Elementary (13.8%) and Morton Elementary (23.1%).

The relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Washington Elementary, ranging from 42.55% to 53.67% over the past few years, suggests that the school may need to provide additional support and resources to address the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 306 out of 1,580 Michigan elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 801 out of 1,153 in 2020-2021, highlighting the need for the school to consistently maintain and improve its academic performance to ensure its students receive a high-quality education.

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.
