Roanoke Elementary School

Summary:

Roanoke Elementary School is a public elementary school in Roanoke, West Virginia, serving 156 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Lewis County Schools district, which is ranked 53 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Roanoke Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (97.44%) compared to the state and nearby schools, such as Gilmer County Elementary School and Buckhannon Academy Elementary School. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with higher proficiency rates in 3rd grade Math and ELA compared to the state, but lower rates in 4th and 5th grade. Roanoke's performance for female and white students is generally better than for male and special education students. The school also has a high percentage of students (68.71%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively disadvantaged student population.

While Roanoke Elementary School has some strengths, such as a low student-teacher ratio, its declining statewide ranking and struggles in higher grade levels indicate the need for continued improvement efforts. Compared to nearby schools in the Lewis County district and other districts, Roanoke generally performs better in 3rd grade but lags behind in higher grades. The school's unique challenges, including its high concentration of white students and relatively disadvantaged student population, suggest that targeted interventions and support may be necessary to help all students succeed.

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.
