Raymond Elementary School

Summary:

Raymond Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-6 in the Raymond School District in Washington. With 224 students and a student-teacher ratio of 12.9, the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom quarter of Washington elementary schools, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

One of the key factors that differentiates Raymond Elementary School is its low academic performance. The school consistently underperforms the state average on standardized tests across all grades and subjects, with only 47.83% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 28.26% in math, compared to the state averages of 52.63% and 41.68%, respectively. Additionally, the school faces challenges associated with serving a high-poverty student population, with 75% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Cosmopolis Elementary School, which is 18.53 miles away and had 45% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 38.75% in math, Raymond Elementary School performs significantly worse academically. However, there is some variability in the performance of different student subgroups at the school, with 5th-grade students outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts, while 6th-grade students lagged behind. The school's funding and staffing have also been inconsistent, which may contribute to its academic challenges.

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.
