Rose Hill Elementary

Summary:

Rose Hill Elementary is a public elementary school in Rose Hill, Virginia, serving 251 students in grades PK-4. The school is part of the Lee County Public Schools district, which is ranked 45 out of 130 school districts in the state.

Rose Hill Elementary has a unique racial makeup, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (96.41%) compared to the state average. However, the school's performance has been declining relative to other Virginia elementary schools, dropping from a 4-star rating in 2017-2018 to a 2-star rating in 2023-2024. Student performance on standardized tests is mixed, with the school performing better than the district and state in some areas, but lagging behind in others, particularly in 3rd-grade Mathematics and English Reading. Interestingly, the school's low-socioeconomic status students perform relatively well, while the performance of white students is significantly lower.

When compared to nearby St. Charles Elementary and Flatwoods Elementary, both within the same Lee County Public Schools district, Rose Hill Elementary generally performs worse on standardized tests, particularly in Mathematics and English Reading. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 86.85% to 91.15%, indicating a relatively high-need population that may contribute to the school's performance challenges.

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.
