Highland View Elementary

Summary:

Highland View Elementary is a public elementary school in Bristol, Virginia, serving 175 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Bristol City Public Schools district, which is ranked 79 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Highland View Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (72%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 68-77% White. The school also has a higher percentage of African American students (13.71%) than the surrounding area. While the school's 4th-grade math proficiency rate is higher than the district and state averages, its 3rd-grade math proficiency is lower. Highland View's disabled students perform well, ranking in the top 100 Virginia elementary schools, but its White and low-income students lag behind. The school spends $10,474 per student, more than the district average of $9,271, and has a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.1 compared to nearby schools.

Highland View Elementary's performance has declined in recent years, dropping from 610 out of 1,105 Virginia elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 761 out of 1,114 in 2023-2024. The school faces significant achievement gaps between student subgroups, and its high poverty rate of nearly 100% free and reduced-price lunch recipients likely contributes to its academic challenges. However, the school's unique characteristics and lower student-teacher ratio may provide opportunities for targeted improvement strategies and collaboration with higher-performing Stonewall Jackson Elementary and other nearby schools in the Bristol City Public Schools district.

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.
