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.

Open Quote Our son was bullied at the school daily and the leadership team refused to do anything without a student being willing to “snitch” (as administrators even admitted was the common term, and something they shouldn’t do unless they had proof). Discipline by administration for falsely “snitching” was so severe that students were fearful to report anything. There are some good teachers there, although it’s not a safe or conducive environment for learning. Discipline is inconsistent and severely lacking. The culture is broken. If you are a parent, I encourage you to take a day and observe what goes on in this windowless
cavern. Walk down the hallway during passing period and judge for yourself...a few kicks to the shin and shoulder slams against the lockers (that’s haven’t been used in years) like my son endured daily is all you need to see. Fortunately, the district announced a Principal change, and you may have noticed that has created a snowball effect throughout the district with nearly every middle school swapping Principals heading into the next school year. Thank you for sparking some change Kamiakin or should I say LWSD......finally! Close Quote

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.
