Truitt Intermediate

Summary:

Truitt Intermediate is an elementary school in Chesapeake, Virginia, serving 259 students in grades 3-5. The school is part of the Chesapeake City Public Schools district, which is ranked 29th out of 130 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While the Chesapeake City Public Schools district generally performs well, Truitt Intermediate stands out as an underperforming school. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Virginia elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Truitt Intermediate's proficiency rates on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 5th-grade math proficiency rate was 34.09%, compared to the district's 76.42% and the state's 67.98%. Additionally, Truitt Intermediate has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (around 62-64%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 34-52% African American.

Another notable factor is the school's high percentage of students (over 90%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the surrounding schools in the Chesapeake City Public Schools district also have high percentages of economically disadvantaged students, they generally outperform Truitt Intermediate on key metrics, suggesting that the issues at Truitt Intermediate may be more complex than just socioeconomic factors. The school's higher per-student spending of around $13,800, compared to $9,941 at George W. Carver Intermediate and $12,138 at Portlock Primary, further highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying challenges and improve outcomes for the students at Truitt Intermediate.

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.
