George W. Carver Intermediate

Summary:

George W. Carver Intermediate is an elementary school in Chesapeake, Virginia, serving 549 students in grades 3-5, and is part of the Chesapeake City Public Schools district.

While the district as a whole is ranked 29th out of 130 in Virginia and has a 4-star rating, George W. Carver Intermediate faces significant challenges. The school has a much higher percentage of African American (49.91%) and Hispanic (29.14%) students compared to nearby schools like Greenbrier Intermediate, which has a more diverse student population. Academically, George W. Carver Intermediate consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Virginia elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, and its performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students (over 90%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student ($9,941 in 2020-2021), the academic and socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population at George W. Carver Intermediate persist. The school's performance, particularly for certain subgroups like African American, Hispanic, and disabled students, has steadily declined over the past decade, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs 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.
