Ecoff Elementary

Summary:

Ecoff Elementary is a public elementary school in Chester, Virginia, serving 730 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.

Ecoff Elementary stands out for its relatively diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 37.67% White, 38.63% African American, 13.56% Hispanic, 2.19% Asian, and 7.4% two or more races. This diversity is higher compared to nearby schools like O.B. Gates Elementary, which has a student population that is 52.4% White. Academically, Ecoff's performance on SOL tests is generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages in most subjects and grade levels. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.4 to 15.4 over the past three years.

However, Ecoff Elementary faces some challenges, including fluctuating school rankings and significant performance gaps between different student subgroups. The school's ranking among Virginia elementary schools has ranged from 477 out of 1,096 in 2015-2016 to 836 out of 1,109 in 2021-2022, indicating inconsistent academic achievement. Additionally, the school's Hispanic students and disabled students have performed significantly better or worse than the overall student population on SOL tests. Ecoff's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 44.59% to 80.96% over the past three years, suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's academic performance. By addressing the needs of its lower-performing subgroups and learning from the practices of higher-performing nearby schools, such as Harrowgate Elementary, Ecoff Elementary may be able to improve its overall academic outcomes and provide more equitable educational opportunities for all its 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.

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.
