Ellsworth Elementary School

Summary:

Ellsworth Elementary School is a public elementary school in Vancouver, Washington, serving 376 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Evergreen School District, which is ranked 185 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ellsworth Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to surrounding schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (33.78%) and Pacific Islander (3.46%) students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally lower than the Evergreen School District and Washington state averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 35.75% of Ellsworth students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 52.63% statewide. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students and English Language Learners performing relatively better than White, Multi-racial, and Special Education students.

Ellsworth Elementary's challenges are further compounded by its high percentage of students (65.96% in 2022-2023) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's spending per student has been relatively high, ranging from $11,637 to $19,114 over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. Despite these investments, Ellsworth's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 649 out of 1,067 elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 948 out of 1,168 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Compared to nearby schools like Endeavour Elementary and Hearthwood Elementary, as well as schools in the neighboring Vancouver School District, Ellsworth's academic performance is generally lower.

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.
