Summary:

Oscar F. Smith High is a public high school in Chesapeake, Virginia, serving 2,291 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Chesapeake City Public Schools district, which is ranked 29th out of 130 school districts in the state.

While Oscar F.

The school's performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests is below the state and district averages, particularly in subjects like Writing, VA and US History, and World History. However, the school performs better in Geometry, Algebra I, and Biology, often exceeding the state and district averages. Notably, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White and Hispanic students performing relatively well, but African American, Asian, and male students struggling.

Compared to nearby schools in the Chesapeake City Public Schools district, such as Hickory High and Grassfield High, which are among the top-performing high schools in the state, Oscar F. Smith High faces unique challenges, including a high percentage of students from low-income families (ranging from 55.84% to 70.27% over the past few years) and significant performance gaps between student subgroups. Addressing these factors through targeted interventions and support could be key to improving the school's academic outcomes and providing equitable opportunities for all students.

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.

Oscar Smith High was a great school that gave me plenty of opportunities to succeed. All of my teachers had a positive impact on me academically and it was a great environment to learn in. In my four years there the faculty and staff truly had the best interest of the students at heart. Close Quote

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.
