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.
