Robert Gray Elementary

Summary:

Robert Gray Elementary is a public elementary school in Longview, Washington, serving 414 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Longview School District, which is ranked 164 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Robert Gray Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (74.64%) compared to nearby schools like Columbia Valley Garden Elementary (72.92% White) and Mint Valley Elementary (65.87% White), its academic performance is generally lower than the district and state averages. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (39.81%) and Math (42.13%) for the 2023-2024 school year were below the Longview School District and Washington state averages. Additionally, Robert Gray Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Washington elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2023-2024 school year.

Robert Gray Elementary also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 50.97% in the 2022-2023 school year. This suggests a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds compared to the state average. While the school's per-student spending has fluctuated over the years, this spending level does not appear to have translated into consistently strong academic outcomes, indicating that factors beyond just funding may be at play.

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.
