Mount Pleasant School

Summary:

Mount Pleasant School is a small public elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Washougal School District, with a student population of just 68 as of the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite its small size, Mount Pleasant School consistently outperforms the state average on standardized tests across multiple subjects and grade levels. In the current school year, 63.16% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 52.86%, and 57.89% were proficient or better in math, compared to the state average of 41.04%. The school also excels in science, with 69.23% of students proficient or better, significantly higher than the state average of 48.75%. This strong academic performance may be attributed to the school's relatively high socioeconomic status, with only 35.29% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, as well as a significant increase in spending per student over the past few years, from $12,347 in 2019-2020 to $19,614 in 2021-2022.

When compared to nearby schools, Mount Pleasant School stands out in its academic performance. For example, Helen Baller Elementary, a highly-ranked school in the Camas School District, had a slightly higher percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts at 76.23%, but Mount Pleasant School outperformed Helen Baller in math, with 57.89% of students proficient or better compared to 72.73%. However, Mount Pleasant School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 253 out of 1,069 Washington elementary schools in 2006-2007 to 443 out of 1,169 in the current school year, suggesting that while the school's performance remains strong, other schools in the state may be improving at a faster rate.

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.
