Best Elementary Schools in Starbuck, WA

Summary:

The city of Starbuck, Washington is home to a single elementary school, Starbuck School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. While the school has a small student population of just 20 students and a low student-teacher ratio of 5:1, its academic performance lags behind state averages, raising concerns about the quality of education provided to the community.

Starbuck School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (26.67%) and Math (46.67%) for the 2023-2024 school year are both significantly below the state averages of 52.63% and 41.68%, respectively. This trend has persisted, with the school's Math proficiency rate in the previous year (2022-2023) also falling short at 28.57%, compared to the state average of 41.04%. Despite the school's high per-student spending of $21,512, which is significantly higher than the state average, the academic outcomes for students do not reflect this investment.

Further compounding the challenges faced by Starbuck School is its location within the Starbuck School District, which is ranked 240 out of 247 districts in Washington and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests that the issues faced by Starbuck School may be indicative of broader systemic problems within the district, requiring a comprehensive approach to address the educational needs of the community.
