Tukes Valley Primary

Summary:

Tukes Valley Primary is an elementary school in Battle Ground, Washington, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 4th grade. While the school is part of the Battle Ground School District, which has a 3-star rating, Tukes Valley Primary faces some unique challenges compared to nearby schools.

One key difference is the school's racial makeup, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (83.69%) compared to the more diverse student populations at surrounding schools like Glenwood Heights Primary and Pleasant Valley Primary. Academically, Tukes Valley Primary's performance on SBAC tests lags behind the district and state averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (43%) and Math (50.24%) falling short of the Battle Ground School District (51.62% and 39.9%) and the state of Washington (52.63% and 41.68%). The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing relatively well but white students and students with special needs struggling.

Tukes Valley Primary's challenges extend beyond academics. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, and its percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients has increased, suggesting a growing population of students from low-income families. When compared to nearby schools, Tukes Valley Primary's performance is generally lower, with Glenwood Heights Primary and Pleasant Valley Primary boasting higher SBAC proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. The school's leadership and the Battle Ground School District will need to address these disparities and develop strategies to improve the overall academic outcomes for all students at Tukes Valley Primary.

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.
