Southeastern Elementary

Summary:

Southeastern Elementary is a public elementary school in Chesapeake, Virginia, serving 837 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Chesapeake City Public Schools district, which is ranked 29 out of 130 school districts in Virginia, Southeastern Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state.

Southeastern Elementary's academic performance is exceptional, with the school maintaining a 4 or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and consistently outperforming the district and state averages on SOL assessments. However, the school's student population is relatively homogeneous, with a majority (73.6%) of White students, compared to nearby schools like Greenbrier Primary, Crestwood Intermediate, and B.M. Williams Primary, which have more diverse student populations. Additionally, Southeastern Elementary has a lower percentage of students (17.08%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher socioeconomic status compared to some nearby schools.

One of the key factors contributing to Southeastern Elementary's success is its efficient resource allocation, as evidenced by its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.1 to 15.3 over the past three school years. This is lower than the ratios of some nearby schools, such as Grassfield Elementary (18.6) and Great Bridge Intermediate (19.1), suggesting more individualized attention for students at Southeastern Elementary.

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.
