Craigsville Elementary

Summary:

Craigsville Elementary is a public elementary school in Craigsville, Virginia, serving 146 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Augusta County Public Schools district, which is ranked 64 out of 130 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Craigsville Elementary faces several key challenges. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (84.25%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, with a lower percentage of minority students. Academically, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools, with a 1-star or 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. Student achievement on SOL tests is also lower than state and district averages. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Guy K. Stump Elementary, Virginia School for the Deaf and Blind Elementary, and schools in the Staunton City Public Schools district, Craigsville Elementary generally performs worse on standardized tests and has a lower school ranking. However, the school's high per-student spending of $15,771 suggests that it may have access to additional resources and support that could be leveraged to improve student outcomes.

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.
