Victoria Elementary

Summary:

Victoria Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Lunenburg County Public Schools district, with a student population of 378 in the town of Victoria, VA. The school faces significant challenges, with a consistently low performance ranking, below-average student proficiency rates, and a high percentage of students from low-income families.

Victoria Elementary has ranked in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools in recent years, with a 1 to 2-star rating on the SchoolDigger system. The school's student proficiency rates on SOL tests are generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics and English reading. For example, the school's 3rd grade mathematics proficiency rate was 70.59% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the state average of 70.11% and the district average of 72.88%. The school's 5th grade mathematics proficiency rate was even lower at 54.24%, compared to the state average of 67.98% and the district average of 65.35%. This is likely due to the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 85.17% to 98.68% in recent years, indicating a predominantly low-income student population.

While Victoria Elementary faces significant challenges, the school's support for its African American and low-socioeconomic status students is a positive sign. Compared to nearby schools like Kenbridge Elementary, which has a similar student population, Victoria Elementary's subgroups have performed better relative to their peers in the state. Additionally, the district's increased per-student spending may help to address some of the school's resource needs. Continued efforts to improve instructional quality, target interventions for struggling students, and address the unique needs of the school's low-income population will be crucial for Victoria Elementary to improve its academic outcomes and provide a high-quality education for all its students.

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.
