Huddleston Elementary

Summary:

Huddleston Elementary is a public elementary school in Huddleston, Virginia, serving 212 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Bedford County Public Schools district, which is ranked 43 out of 130 school districts in the state.

While Huddleston Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (77.36%) compared to the state average, it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's student performance on SOL tests is generally below the district and state averages, and it has a high percentage of students (82.55%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than nearby schools like Thomas Jefferson Elementary and Otter River Elementary. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $11,599, the school's ranking has steadily declined over the past decade, suggesting that it is not keeping pace with improvements in other Virginia elementary schools.

The challenges faced by Huddleston Elementary include the underperformance of specific student groups, such as male students and White students, as well as the high poverty rates in the community it serves. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach that leverages the school's resources and targets the specific needs of its students and community.

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.
