Annandale Terrace Elementary

Summary:

Annandale Terrace Elementary is a public elementary school in Annandale, Virginia, serving 625 students in grades PK-5. The school stands out from nearby schools in the Fairfax County Public Schools district due to its significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students, consistently lower academic performance, and lower school ranking.

Annandale Terrace Elementary has a student population that is 53.12% Hispanic, much higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 11.49% to 46.61% Hispanic students. This racial diversity is a key differentiating factor, as the school consistently underperforms the district and state on standardized tests, with its 3rd grade math proficiency rate of 48.86% lagging behind the district's 71.31% and the state's 70.11%. The school's low ranking, in the bottom 10-15% of Virginia elementary schools, is another significant factor that sets it apart from nearby high-performing schools like Columbia Elementary and Wakefield Forest Elementary.

The lower academic performance at Annandale Terrace Elementary appears to be correlated with the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 80% receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor, along with the school's large Hispanic population, likely contributes to the lower test scores across all grade levels and subjects, particularly for the school's Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status student subgroups. Despite spending more per student than the surrounding schools, Annandale Terrace Elementary has not been able to translate this higher spending into better academic outcomes for 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.
