Ervinton Elementary

Summary:

Ervinton Elementary is a public elementary school in Nora, Virginia, serving 113 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Dickenson County Public Schools district, which is ranked 63 out of 131 school districts in the state.

While Ervinton Elementary has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking and rating in recent years, dropping from a 5-star rating and ranking of 72 out of 1,099 Virginia elementary schools in 2016-2017 to a 2-star rating and ranking of 651 out of 1,114 schools in the most recent year, the school stands out in several ways. It has a much higher percentage of white students, ranging from 95.8% to 98.23% over the past three years, compared to the more diverse student populations of nearby schools like Sandlick Elementary and Clintwood Elementary. Additionally, Ervinton Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 80.42% to 91.15% over the past three years, significantly higher than the surrounding schools.

Academically, Ervinton Elementary's student performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests is generally lower than the Dickenson County Public Schools district average and the state average across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, the school's 3rd-grade math and reading proficiency rates were around 68%, compared to the district's 85.95% and 78.51% respectively, and the state's 69.1% and 66.12%. However, the school does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.6 to 8.8 over the past three years, which could be a potential strength in providing more individualized attention and support for 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.
