G.A. Treakle Elementary

Summary:

G.A. Treakle Elementary is a public elementary school in Chesapeake, Virginia, serving 421 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Chesapeake City Public Schools district.

While G.A. Treakle Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with higher percentages of African American (47.98%) and Hispanic (14.01%) students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, its students generally perform better than the state average on SOL assessments, particularly in Mathematics and English Reading, though they lag behind the Chesapeake City Public Schools district average. The school also has a very high percentage of students (over 90%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite these challenges, G.A. Treakle Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of around 10-12 students per teacher, which is lower than the nearby schools.

Interestingly, while G.A. Treakle Elementary's overall performance is in the lower half of Virginia elementary schools, its performance for specific student subgroups, such as female students, African American students, Hispanic students, and low-socioeconomic status students, is much stronger, often ranking in the top 25-30% of Virginia elementary schools for those subgroups. Additionally, the school has a relatively high per-student spending of around $13,000, which is higher than the nearby schools in the Chesapeake City Public Schools district. When compared to other nearby elementary schools, both within the Chesapeake City Public Schools district and in the neighboring Portsmouth City Public Schools district, G.A. Treakle Elementary generally outperforms these schools on SOL assessments, particularly in Mathematics and English Reading.

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.
