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 children have been students at Sacajawea Elementary for 4 years now, and we LOVE the school. My children are considered Advanced Learners and they are receiving the support that they need academically and are thriving. The school provides so much support for students of all academic and developmental levels, is doing so much equity work, and the school culture and community is very positive and close. As a small school, teachers are able to support all of their students. We are very happy here! Close Quote

Open Quote Test scores reflect the average of all scores not the work of individual students. Sacajawea is committed to helping every student thrive and creates support for each individual learner. This kind of dedication and success rarely demonstrates itself in standardized testing which is often flawed or needlessly wordy to impress school boards. However, these tests only confuse students who actually do know the skill being tested. Sacajawea students routinely demonstrate improvement through the school year and move forward at or above grade level learning. Students enjoy school and most look forward to their time at school.

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.
