Summary:

Conway School District 317 is an elementary school (grades KG-8) located in Mount Vernon, WA, with 444 students. While the district is ranked 95 out of 247 in Washington and has a 3-star rating, it faces some academic challenges compared to the state and nearby schools.

The district generally performs below the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency, with 47.43% of students proficient in both subjects compared to the state averages of 52.63% in ELA and 41.68% in Math. However, the district excels in Science proficiency, with 64.44% of students meeting standards, higher than the state average of 49.73%. Interestingly, male students at Conway School District 317 perform better than female students, and White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds lag behind their respective state averages.

When compared to nearby schools, Stanwood Elementary School outperforms Conway School District 317 in both ELA and Math, while Centennial Elementary School in the Mount Vernon School District has significantly lower test scores. Additionally, Twin City Elementary in the Stanwood-Camano School District surpasses Conway School District 317 in Math and Science proficiency. Despite these challenges, the district's increasing spending per student and decreasing student-teacher ratio suggest a focus on improving resources, though the growing population of economically disadvantaged students may require additional support and targeted interventions.

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.
