Staunton River High

Summary:

Staunton River High is a public high school located in Moneta, Virginia, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 889. The school is part of the Bedford County Public Schools district, which is ranked 43 out of 130 school districts in Virginia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Staunton River High faces significant challenges in improving its academic performance and addressing disparities among its student population. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Virginia high schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, which is significantly lower than nearby schools like Jefferson Forest High (ranked 129) and Lord Botetourt High (ranked 70). Staunton River High's performance varies greatly among different student subgroups, with African American students performing relatively well, but Hispanic and white students, as well as low-income and disabled students, performing poorly.

The school's test scores are generally lower than the Bedford County Public Schools district and the state of Virginia across various subjects and grade levels. Additionally, Staunton River High's ranking and performance have steadily declined over the past decade, dropping from a 2-star rating in 2016-2017 to a 1-star rating in recent years. This suggests that the school is facing challenges in improving student outcomes, and it may require targeted interventions and support to help all students succeed. The high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (68.84% in 2022-2023) also indicates that the school serves a predominantly low-income population, which can present unique challenges in terms of academic support and resources.

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.
