Hopkins Road Elementary

Summary:

Hopkins Road Elementary is a public elementary school in Richmond, Virginia, serving 773 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Chesterfield County Public Schools district, which is ranked 82 out of 130 school districts in the state.

Hopkins Road Elementary faces significant challenges, including a student population that is 39% African American, 46% Hispanic, and only 7% White - a much higher minority representation than nearby schools like J.G. Hening Elementary and Bellwood Elementary. The school's academic performance is also a concern, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and consistently low scores on state assessments compared to the district and state averages. Additionally, a high percentage of students (68-81%) receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Despite relatively high spending per student, ranging from $5,963 to $7,709 over the past few years, Hopkins Road Elementary's performance has been declining, with its statewide ranking dropping from 351 out of 1,099 Virginia elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 926 out of 1,114 in 2023-2024. The school's struggles are particularly pronounced for Hispanic and English Language Learner students, suggesting significant achievement gaps. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach that goes beyond just increased funding and resources.

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.
