Summary:

Ida Nason Aronica Elementary is a public elementary school in Ellensburg, Washington, serving 279 students in grades K-5. The school has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with higher percentages of Hispanic and multi-racial students. However, Ida Nason Aronica lags behind other schools in the Ellensburg School District and the state of Washington in academic performance, particularly for White students and students of low socioeconomic status.

Ida Nason Aronica Elementary has lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts (36.6%) and Math (43.79%) compared to the Ellensburg School District (51.39% and 39.17%) and the state of Washington (52.63% and 41.68%). The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (58.42%), which is significantly higher than nearby Lincoln Elementary (45.27%) and Valley View Elementary School (32.66%). This suggests that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance.

Ida Nason Aronica Elementary's academic performance varies across grade levels, and the school ranks in the bottom half of Washington elementary schools for female students, male students, White students, and low socioeconomic status students. This indicates significant achievement gaps that could benefit from targeted interventions and support. The school's proximity to higher-performing schools within the Ellensburg School District suggests opportunities for collaboration and the implementation of effective strategies to improve student outcomes.

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.
