Summary:
The data set provided information on a single public elementary school, Lawson-Marriott Elementary, located in the 23148 zip code and serving grades PK-6. This school, which is part of the King and Queen County Public Schools district, has a diverse student population but is struggling academically, with consistently below-average performance on state standardized tests.
Lawson-Marriott Elementary's student body is racially diverse, with a mix of White, African American, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, and multiracial students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by SOL (Standards of Learning) test scores, is generally below the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 54.55%, compared to the state average of 70.11% and the district average of 51.16%. The school's statewide ranking among Virginia elementary schools has also declined in recent years, from 854 out of 1,109 in 2021-2022 to 1,027 out of 1,114 in 2023-2024.
The data also suggests that Lawson-Marriott Elementary may be serving a socioeconomically disadvantaged community, with a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients and a relatively low per-student spending of $7,724 for the 2020-2021 school year. This could be an area of concern in terms of ensuring equitable resource allocation and support for the school. Overall, the analysis indicates that Lawson-Marriott Elementary is in need of targeted interventions and support to improve its academic performance and better serve its diverse student population.
