Thurgood Marshall Elementary

Summary:

Thurgood Marshall Elementary is a public elementary school in Chesapeake, Virginia, serving 436 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Chesapeake City Public Schools district, which is ranked 29th out of 130 school districts in Virginia.

Thurgood Marshall Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools. The school's performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests is generally lower than the Chesapeake City Public Schools district and the state of Virginia averages, particularly in 3rd grade Mathematics and English Reading. However, the school has shown some strengths in the performance of specific student subgroups, such as African American students and disabled students, who have ranked in the top half or top third of Virginia elementary schools in recent years. The school's high poverty rates, with 91.51% to 99.3% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to the academic performance challenges.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Chesapeake City Public Schools district, such as Sparrow Road Intermediate, Portlock Primary, Georgetown Primary, George W. Carver Intermediate, and Rena B. Wright Primary, generally perform better on academic measures than Thurgood Marshall Elementary. This suggests that there may be opportunities for the school to learn from the successful strategies of its higher-performing peers within the same district.

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.
