Sleepy Hollow Elementary

Summary:

Sleepy Hollow Elementary is a public elementary school in Falls Church, Virginia, serving 453 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Fairfax County Public Schools district, which is ranked 41 out of 130 school districts in Virginia.

Sleepy Hollow Elementary stands out for its significantly higher Hispanic student population (67.11%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 32.37% to 81.03% Hispanic students. However, the school consistently underperforms the district and state in standardized test scores, with its 3rd grade math proficiency rate at just 26.56% compared to 71.31% for the district and 70.11% for the state. Sleepy Hollow Elementary has a low statewide ranking, placing between 717 and 1033 out of 1,114 Virginia elementary schools, putting it in the bottom 10-20% of the state. The school's performance is particularly low for Hispanic, English Language Learner, and low socioeconomic status student subgroups.

While some nearby schools, such as Beech Tree Elementary and Columbia Elementary, demonstrate strong academic performance, Sleepy Hollow Elementary lags significantly behind, despite having a relatively high per-student spending level ranging from $11,258 to $15,585 over the past few years. This raises questions about the effective allocation of resources and the need for targeted interventions to improve student outcomes at Sleepy Hollow Elementary.

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.
