Powhatan Elementary School faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 41.3% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the state and district averages. The school's test scores are generally below the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in Math ranging from 13.3% for 8th grade to 57.1% for 3rd grade, compared to the state averages of 46.3% and 62.1%, respectively.

While Powhatan Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.7 to 12.4 over the past three school years, which is lower than the district and state averages, the school's performance is generally below that of nearby schools, such as St. Clairsville Elementary and Leona Ave Middle School, both of which have a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's higher spending per student ($14,983 in 2018-2019) may present opportunities for targeted interventions and resource allocation to address these issues and improve student outcomes.

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.
