Camelot Elementary

Summary:

Camelot Elementary is a public elementary school in Chesapeake, Virginia, serving 498 students in grades PK-5. The school stands out for its significantly higher percentage of African American students and extremely high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which are much higher than the surrounding schools.

Camelot Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three years. This is in contrast to the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Deep Creek Central Elementary and G.A. Treakle Elementary, which have achieved 4-star ratings. Camelot Elementary's student performance on standardized tests is also significantly lower than the Chesapeake City Public Schools district and the state of Virginia averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

The stark differences in racial makeup and socioeconomic challenges faced by Camelot Elementary's student population suggest that there may be underlying issues related to equity and access to quality education. Addressing these disparities and improving the school's performance will require a comprehensive approach that considers the unique needs and circumstances of the community it serves.

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.
