Summary:

Middle Road Elementary is a public elementary school in Prince George, Virginia, serving around 560 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Prince George County Public Schools district.

Middle Road Elementary has a relatively diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 36.07% White, 36.79% African American, 17.86% Hispanic, 0.36% Asian, and 8.75% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance has been mixed, with some grade levels and subject areas performing above the state average on SOL tests, while others have struggled. The school's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have declined in recent years, dropping from a 4-star rating to a 2-star rating. Specific student subgroups, such as multi-racial students and military-connected students, have also underperformed compared to their peers.

When comparing Middle Road Elementary to nearby schools, such as North Elementary and L.L. Beazley Elementary in the same district, as well as Enon Elementary and Tussing Elementary in neighboring districts, Middle Road Elementary has generally underperformed on SOL test scores. However, the school's diverse student population and relatively high spending per student could be leveraged to improve 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.
