Gladesboro Elementary

Summary:

Gladesboro Elementary is a public elementary school in Hillsville, Virginia, serving 106 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Carroll County Public Schools district. This school stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, particularly in Mathematics and English Reading, as well as its unique demographic profile with a significantly higher percentage of White students compared to the state average and nearby schools.

Gladesboro Elementary consistently outperforms the Carroll County Public Schools district and the state of Virginia in various SOL (Standards of Learning) assessments. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Gladesboro's 3rd-grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 94.74%, compared to 76.67% for the district and 70.11% for the state. The school has also seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 95th out of 1,114 Virginia elementary schools in 2022-2023 (5-star rating) to 632nd out of 1,103 in 2020-2021 (2-star rating). Additionally, Gladesboro Elementary has a notable ranking for its female students, placing 2nd out of 1,100 Virginia elementary schools in the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite its strong academic performance, Gladesboro Elementary faces some challenges, including a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 76.47% in 2021-2022 to 84.91% in 2022-2023, suggesting a predominantly economically disadvantaged population. The school's enrollment has also decreased from 106 students in 2022-2023 to 106 students in 2023-2024, a potential concern for the school's long-term sustainability. When compared to nearby schools, such as Gladeville Elementary, Laurel Elementary, and Oakland Elementary, Gladesboro Elementary generally outperforms them in academic measures, but some nearby schools, like Indian Valley Elementary (in the Floyd County Public Schools district), have also demonstrated strong academic performance and higher statewide rankings.

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.
