Selkirk Elementary School

Summary:

Selkirk Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Metaline Falls, Washington, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 124 students. The school is part of the Selkirk School District, which is ranked 52 out of 247 school districts in Washington and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Selkirk Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (84.68%) compared to the state average, and a lower percentage of Hispanic students (12.9%). The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 123rd to 782nd out of over 1,100 Washington elementary schools, and its SchoolDigger rating has also varied from 2 to 4 stars out of 5. Interestingly, Selkirk Elementary School performs particularly well for its low socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking 35th out of 1,019 Washington elementary schools in this category in 2021-2022. However, its performance for white students has been relatively lower, ranking 849th out of 1,011 schools in 2022-2023.

Compared to the nearby Northport Elementary School, which is part of the Northport School District, Selkirk Elementary School has a similar racial makeup but generally underperforms in academic achievement, with lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and math across all grades. This suggests that Selkirk Elementary School may need to focus on addressing its declining statewide ranking, potential racial achievement gap, and fluctuating academic performance to better serve its students.

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.
