Prince Edward Elementary

Summary:

Prince Edward Elementary is a public elementary school in Farmville, Virginia, serving 808 students in grades PK-4. The school is part of the Prince Edward County Public Schools district, which is ranked 120 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Prince Edward Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools, with a SchoolDigger rating ranging from 0 to 2 stars out of 5 over the past 10 years. While the school's African American and Hispanic students perform relatively better compared to the overall school, White students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform worse. The school's proficiency rates in SOL Mathematics and English Reading are consistently lower than the state averages, with the largest gaps in 3rd-grade reading and 4th-grade mathematics.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Eureka Elementary in Charlotte County, Crewe Primary in Nottoway County, and Cumberland Elementary in Cumberland County outperform Prince Edward Elementary across multiple academic measures, despite having lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While Prince Edward Elementary spends more per student than some of these nearby schools, the higher spending does not appear to translate into better academic 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.
