Hathaway Elementary

Summary:

Hathaway Elementary is a public elementary school in Washougal, Washington, serving 263 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Washougal School District. The school has shown consistent improvement in its academic performance, outpacing the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science assessments, particularly among its 5th-grade students.

Despite serving a more diverse student population with a higher percentage of Hispanic students and students from low-income families compared to nearby schools, Hathaway Elementary has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.9, which may contribute to its academic success. While the school's performance is on par with or exceeds other Washougal School District schools, it lags behind the higher-performing Camas School District schools, which serve more affluent student populations and have greater resources per student.

Hathaway Elementary's steady improvement in its statewide ranking and academic performance, particularly in the core subjects, is a positive trend that suggests the school is effectively supporting student learning. However, the school's diverse student population and higher percentage of students from low-income families present both opportunities and challenges, and the school may need to allocate additional resources and implement targeted strategies to address the unique needs of these student subgroups and ensure their continued academic success.

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.
