Jefferson-Houston Pk-8 School

Summary:

Jefferson-Houston Pk-8 School is a public elementary and middle school in Alexandria, Virginia, serving 636 students in grades PK-8. The school stands out for its significantly higher percentages of African American (51.42%) and Hispanic (18.87%) students compared to surrounding schools, as well as its consistently low academic performance and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($16,364 in 2020-2021) than the state and district averages, Jefferson-Houston Pk-8 School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Virginia elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests is significantly lower than the state and Alexandria City Public Schools district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. This persistent underperformance suggests the school is facing significant challenges in improving academic outcomes for its students.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (79.25% receive free or reduced-price lunch) at Jefferson-Houston Pk-8 School highlights the educational inequities faced by this student population. In contrast, the surrounding schools, such as Belle View Elementary and Charles Barrett Elementary in the Fairfax County Public Schools district, generally perform better academically and have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students. Addressing the challenges at Jefferson-Houston Pk-8 School will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to provide targeted support and resources to its students and community.

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.

This is my family's fifth year at Jefferson Houston, and we are very happy. The teachers are kind and encouraging. The parent community is positive and supportive. We are doing virtual learning right now because of the pandemic, and the energy and effort from my children's teachers is remarkable! Don't discount this school because of bad computer algorithms that rank it poorly. Visit the school -- a beautiful new building constructed a few years ago with natural light, a fun playground, and large classrooms -- and talk to parents. Close Quote

J-H has an enthusiastic community of students, teachers, administrators, staff, and parents. It also has fantastic facilities: a new building and K-8 means elementary students have resources not available elsewhere. Test scores are improving as investment in the school has turned the corner and the broader community is supportive. I encourage everyone to visit the school and be impressed by the level of learning taking place. Close Quote

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.
