Summary:

Churchville Elementary is a public elementary school in Churchville, Virginia, serving 433 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Augusta County Public Schools district, which is ranked 64 out of 130 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Churchville Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of white students (94.23%) compared to nearby schools, which have more diverse student populations. The school's performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests has fluctuated over the years, with some grades and subjects showing stronger results than others. In the most recent year, Churchville Elementary's 5th-grade students outperformed the district and state in English Reading, and their 5th-grade students significantly outperformed the district and state in Mathematics. However, the school's overall ranking and rating have ranged from 1 to 4 stars, with the most recent 2-star rating placing it 706 out of 1,114 Virginia elementary schools.

Churchville Elementary's student-teacher ratio is lower than some of the nearby schools, such as Stuarts Draft Elementary, Guy K. Stump Elementary, and Riverheads Elementary, suggesting a potential advantage in terms of individual attention and support for students. However, the school's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 37.09% to 41.11% in recent years, suggests that it serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population, which may impact student performance and educational 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.
