Kilby Shores Elementary

Summary:

Kilby Shores Elementary is a public elementary school in Suffolk, Virginia, serving 449 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Suffolk City Public Schools district, which is ranked 66 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kilby Shores Elementary has a relatively balanced racial composition, with 40.09% White, 42.54% African American, and 8.91% Hispanic students. Academically, the school's performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests is generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, with some areas above and others below. For example, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 83.82% in 2023-2024, compared to 75.22% for the district and 70.11% for the state. However, the school's overall ranking has consistently placed it in the middle of Virginia elementary schools, ranging from 509 out of 1105 schools in 2018-2019 to 653 out of 1114 schools in the 2023-2024 school year.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Carrsville Elementary and Oakland Elementary, Kilby Shores Elementary's performance is generally on par or slightly below. The school's high percentage of students (64.37% in 2022-2023) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families, may contribute to its academic performance. Despite increased spending per student over the years and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school's academic outcomes have not seen significant improvements, suggesting that targeted interventions and support may be needed to help Kilby Shores Elementary better serve its diverse student population.

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.
