Oak Point Elementary

Summary:

Oak Point Elementary is a public elementary school in Marion, Virginia, serving 359 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Smyth County Public Schools district, which is ranked 25th out of 130 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While Oak Point Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (92.76%) compared to the state average, its academic performance, as measured by SOL test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, the school's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 62% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the district's 75.19% and the state's 70.11%. Additionally, Oak Point Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years, significantly lower than the district's 4-star rating and the high-performing nearby schools like Saltville Elementary and Belfast Elementary.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Oak Point Elementary, reaching over 100% in the 2022-2023 school year, indicates a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This factor may contribute to the school's lower academic performance and could require additional resources and support to address the unique needs of these students. While Oak Point Elementary's spending per student has increased over the years, reaching $10,837 in the 2020-2021 school year, it is still lower than the higher-performing nearby schools like Grayson Highlands ($11,685) and Saltville Elementary ($11,685).

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.
