Boones Mill Elementary consistently ranks among the top 20% of Virginia elementary schools, with strong academic performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 87.5% of 3rd graders, 72.22% of 4th graders, and 77.14% of 5th graders scored proficient or better in SOL Mathematics, outperforming the state averages. However, the school's academic performance lags behind some top-performing schools in the neighboring Roanoke County Public Schools district, such as Cave Spring Elementary and Penn Forest Elementary.

Boones Mill Elementary has a relatively homogeneous student population, with a majority (over 77%) of white students. The school also has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 74.91% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This is significantly higher than the state average and may contribute to the school's academic performance, as research has shown that socioeconomic status can impact student achievement. Despite these challenges, Boones Mill Elementary maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14:1, which may be a contributing factor to its academic 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.
