Check Elementary

Summary:

Check Elementary is a public elementary school in Check, Virginia, serving 292 students in grades PK-7. The school is part of the Floyd County Public Schools district, which is ranked 62 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Check Elementary faces several challenges, including lower student performance compared to the state and district averages, particularly in English Reading and Mathematics. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two years. This places it well below the surrounding high-performing schools, such as Cave Spring Elementary and Back Creek Elementary, which are ranked in the top 10% and have a 5-star rating. Additionally, Check Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (92.12%) compared to the more diverse student populations of the surrounding schools.

One potential strength of Check Elementary is its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.2 to 16.5 over the past three school years. However, the school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (75% in 2022-2023) suggests that it serves a lower-income population, which may contribute to the school's lower performance compared to the higher-performing schools in more affluent areas. By understanding the school's unique characteristics and comparing it to the surrounding high-performing schools, the district and school leaders can develop targeted strategies to address the school's areas of concern and support student success.

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.
