Fallon Park Elementary

Summary:

Fallon Park Elementary is a public elementary school in Roanoke, Virginia, serving 533 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Roanoke City Public Schools district, which is ranked 119 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fallon Park Elementary has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 30.96% White, 31.52% African American, and 24.2% Hispanic. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by SOL (Standards of Learning) test scores, is consistently lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, the school's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 47.67% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the district's 52.06% and the state's 70.11%. Fallon Park Elementary has also consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools, with a ranking of 1041 out of 1114 schools in the 2023-2024 school year.

The nearby schools, such as Round Hill Elementary, Hurt Park Elementary, and Morningside Elementary, also have relatively low academic performance and rankings compared to the state average. However, some schools in the Roanoke County Public Schools district, like Highland Park Elementary, perform significantly better academically. Fallon Park Elementary's high poverty rates, with over 99% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be a significant factor in its academic 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.
