Boyce Elementary

Summary:

Boyce Elementary is a public elementary school in Boyce, Virginia, serving 311 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Clarke County Public Schools district, which is ranked 65 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

While Boyce Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (74.6%) compared to surrounding schools, it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools, with a 2-star rating for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's student performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests is mixed, with some subject areas, like 3rd grade mathematics, outperforming the state and district averages, while others, such as 4th grade mathematics and 5th grade science, underperform. Additionally, Boyce Elementary has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 25.73% in 2021-2022 to 38.26% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

Compared to nearby schools like D.G. Cooley Elementary, which is also part of the Clarke County Public Schools district, Boyce Elementary's performance is generally lower. This suggests there may be opportunities for the school to learn from the practices and strategies of higher-performing schools in the area. To address the challenges Boyce Elementary faces, the school and district may need to closely examine their instructional practices, resource allocation, and strategies for supporting economically disadvantaged students and closing achievement gaps.

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.
