Kendall Elementary

Summary:

Kendall Elementary is a public elementary school in Maple Falls, Washington, serving 327 students in grades K-6 as part of the Mount Baker School District, which is ranked 190 out of 247 districts in the state.

While Kendall Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (72.48%) compared to the state average (52.63%), these students perform significantly worse on state assessments, ranking in the bottom 10% of Washington elementary schools for this subgroup. In contrast, the school's Hispanic students perform relatively better, ranking in the top 50% of Washington elementary schools. Kendall Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of the state's elementary schools, with only 36.71% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 22.28% in math, compared to state averages of 52.63% and 41.68%, respectively. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 74.06% to 84.69% over the past 3 years, suggests the need for targeted support to address these academic disparities.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools, such as Acme Elementary and Harmony Elementary in the Mount Baker School District, as well as schools in the Lynden School District and Nooksack Valley School District, Kendall Elementary consistently underperforms on state assessments and has a lower overall ranking. This suggests the need for the school to examine its practices, resource allocation, and targeted support for its struggling student subgroups to improve academic 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.
