Amelia County Elementary

Summary:

Amelia County Elementary is a public elementary school in Amelia Court House, Virginia, serving around 760 students in grades PK-5. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and limited resources compared to many nearby schools.

Amelia County Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools over the past 10 years, with proficiency rates on state tests that are 10-20 percentage points below the state averages, particularly in 3rd grade Reading. The school's student population is predominantly White (68%) with significant percentages of African American (15-18%) and Hispanic (7-8%) students, and a high percentage (84.74%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Amelia County Elementary spends around $6,900 per student, which is lower than the state average, and has a relatively high student-teacher ratio.

In comparison, many nearby schools, such as Flat Rock Elementary, Winterpock Elementary, and Moseley Elementary, which are part of the Chesterfield County Public Schools district, are ranked in the top 25% of Virginia elementary schools and have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students and more favorable student-teacher ratios. Amelia County Elementary's performance is particularly weak for its White and male student subgroups, which rank in the bottom 10% of Virginia elementary schools, though the school's small population of foster care students is an outlier, ranking in the top 2 schools in the state.

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.
