Hybla Valley Elementary

Summary:

Hybla Valley Elementary is a public elementary school in Alexandria, Virginia, serving 848 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Fairfax County Public Schools district, which is ranked 41 out of 130 school districts in Virginia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hybla Valley Elementary faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (83.14%) than the surrounding area, and it consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Virginia elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. The school's performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests is significantly lower than the Fairfax County and Virginia averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, Hybla Valley Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students (over 90%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite these challenges, Hybla Valley Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.4 to 13.7 over the past few years, which is lower than the surrounding schools like Woodley Hills Elementary, Belle View Elementary, and Stratford Landing Elementary. The school also has a higher per-student spending level ($11,868 in 2020-2021) compared to the state and district averages, suggesting that additional resources are being directed towards the school. However, the school's academic performance remains low, indicating that the allocation and utilization of resources may need to be re-evaluated to better address the specific needs of the Hybla Valley Elementary community.

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.
