Gladeville Elementary

Summary:

Gladeville Elementary is a public elementary school in Galax, Virginia, serving 267 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Carroll County Public Schools district. While the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students compared to nearby schools, its academic performance has declined over the past decade, with lower test scores and a steadily dropping statewide ranking.

Gladeville Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 319 out of 1,099 Virginia elementary schools (4 stars) in 2016-2017 to its current ranking of 765 out of 1,114 (2 stars) in 2023-2024. This decline suggests the school's performance has not kept pace with other schools in the state. Additionally, the school's ranking for specific student groups varies, with male students performing better than female students and white students performing the lowest among all subgroups. Gladeville's test scores in mathematics, science, and English reading are generally lower than the Carroll County Public Schools district and the state of Virginia averages, particularly in the upper elementary grades.

While Gladeville Elementary is part of the same school district as nearby schools like Hillsville Elementary, St. Paul, and Fancy Gap Elementary, its academic performance is generally lower, especially in mathematics and English reading. The school also serves a high-poverty student population, with 77.51% to 84.64% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years, which may impact academic achievement.

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.

Open Quote Our lives have been a NIGHTMARE since starting our Smart..Talented..Creative child at Gladeville.He is not the same child.He shares daily with us how staff makes degrading..hurtful..mean comments to him and other children.He was denied Bathroom priviledges by 4th grade staff caing Medical issues and we had to get Physician documentation to this school so our child could use the restroom. He reports grossly unfair treatment and favoritism of select students (Teachers children and children whose Parents socialize with Teachers outside of school) He has reported horrible self-esteem damaging bullying and after multiple meetings..hundreds of e-mails ad many meetings nothing gets resolved.Our son at age 4 had to endure commets by a Kindergarten Teacher he reported daily told the Children "They don't pay me enough to deal with you" You all are driving me crazy" You are all Goofballs. Our child was denied his request to be seen by the Nurse after a head injury at age 4. It is a full time job dealing with daily problems at the school.Our all A Honor student reports having the staff put hand in his face if he tries to ask aquestion..he has had spelling words sent home to tudy then tested on a different set of words he was never given to review. Assignments are chaotic..confusing..unclear for students and parents. Our son reports Teachers standing and gossiping all day..using classroom time to text..deal with family and personal business while FORBIDDING the students to communicate. He compares it to what he thinks Military Boot Camp would be like. We have lost thousands of hours of family time..had to reschedule family plans due to daily problems at this school..Again a real NIGHTMARE! If you love your children DO NOT SEND THEM TO GLADEVILLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.Sending our child there to endure the mean..hurtful,degrading comments by staff and endure Bullying..and never see ay positive role models in any of the staff has been quite a traumatic experience.

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.
