Inchelium Elementary School

Summary:

Inchelium Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Inchelium, Washington, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 90 students. The school's student population is predominantly Native American, making up 60% of the student body, with a significant Hispanic population as well.

While Inchelium Elementary School has a unique racial composition, it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Washington elementary schools based on academic performance. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (31.71%) and Math (12.2%) are significantly lower than the state averages. However, the school performs relatively well for its Native American student subgroup, ranking 6 out of 19 Washington elementary schools in the 2018-2019 school year. In contrast, the school's performance for low socioeconomic status students is still relatively low, ranking 301 out of 1,024 Washington elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year. Interestingly, the nearby Summit Valley School and Evergreen School have higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math compared to Inchelium Elementary School.

Despite the school's academic challenges, Inchelium Elementary School has a relatively high spending per student, averaging $22,478 per student in the 2021-2022 school year, which is higher than the nearby schools. This could indicate a need to evaluate the effectiveness of resource allocation and identify areas for improvement. Additionally, the racial composition of the school has become more homogeneous over the years, with the percentage of Native American students increasing and the percentage of White and Hispanic students decreasing.

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.
