Summary:
The 29741 zip code area has only one public elementary school, Ruby Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with 262 students. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.7, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the Chesterfield 01 district and state averages, particularly in Mathematics and Science.
Ruby Elementary's student population is diverse, with 67.18% White, 14.12% African American, 5.73% Hispanic, and other minority groups represented. However, the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 100% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the relatively high spending per student of $12,322, the school's academic performance suggests that these resources may not be effectively translated into improved student outcomes.
Overall, while Ruby Elementary has some positive attributes, it appears to be an underperforming school in the region. To improve student achievement, the school should focus on evaluating and refining its instructional practices, curriculum, and resource allocation to better meet the needs of its diverse student population and address the socioeconomic challenges they face.
