Lynbrook Elementary

Summary:

Lynbrook Elementary is a public elementary school in Springfield, Virginia, serving 613 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.

Despite having a higher per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Lynbrook Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Virginia elementary schools, with significantly lower academic performance than the Fairfax County and Virginia state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's performance is particularly low for Hispanic, English Language Learner (ELL), and low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, who rank in the bottom 50% of Virginia elementary schools. Nearby schools, such as Bren Mar Park Elementary, Keene Mill Elementary, and Springfield Estates Elementary, have significantly higher academic performance and statewide rankings, despite serving similar student populations.

The significant achievement gap at Lynbrook Elementary is likely due to the school's high percentage of Hispanic and ELL students, as well as its high proportion of low-SES students. While the school's higher per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio suggest a commitment to supporting student success, these factors have not translated into improved academic outcomes. Identifying and implementing effective strategies used by higher-performing schools in the district may be crucial in addressing the unique needs of Lynbrook's diverse student population and improving academic performance.

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.
