Yellow Branch Elementary

Summary:

Yellow Branch Elementary is a public elementary school located in Rustburg, Virginia, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 573. The school is part of the Campbell County Public Schools district, which is ranked 52 out of 130 school districts in Virginia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Yellow Branch Elementary's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, with some variation across grade levels and subject areas. The school's White students and students with disabilities tend to perform below the state averages for those subgroups, while the school's low-income students and students with disabilities perform relatively better. Nearby schools like Altavista Elementary, Tomahawk Elementary, and Leesville Road Elementary generally outperform Yellow Branch Elementary on state assessments, particularly in mathematics and reading.

The significant increase in the school's free/reduced-price lunch rate, from 55.97% in 2021-2022 to 74.35% in 2022-2023, may be a contributing factor to its academic performance, as research has shown a correlation between socioeconomic status and student achievement. Additionally, Yellow Branch Elementary's per-student spending is lower than some nearby schools, such as Perrymont Elementary and Sheffield Elementary in the Lynchburg City Public Schools district, which may also be a consideration.

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.
