While Mount Eagle Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (69.74%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 12.38% to 58.79% Hispanic, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Virginia elementary schools, with a ranking between 922 and 1103 out of 1100-1114 schools over the past 10 years. This is significantly lower than the surrounding schools, such as Clermont Elementary and Lyles-Crouch Elementary, which have rankings ranging from 138 to 1030. Mount Eagle Elementary's proficiency rates in SOL/Mathematics and SOL/English Reading are also significantly lower than the Fairfax County Public Schools and Virginia state averages across all grade levels.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Mount Eagle Elementary, ranging from 68.88% to 81.87% over the past few years, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's academic challenges. Additionally, the school ranks in the bottom 10-30% of Virginia elementary schools for specific student groups, such as male students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. These persistent academic challenges, particularly in comparison to nearby schools, indicate that Mount Eagle Elementary may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the achievement gaps and improve 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.
