Macy Mcclaugherty Elementary/Middle

Summary:

Macy Mcclaugherty Elementary/Middle is a public school in Pearisburg, Virginia, serving 787 students in grades PK-7 and part of the Giles County Public Schools district.

Macy Mcclaugherty has a significantly higher percentage of white students (77.76%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like McHarg Elementary and Kipps Elementary. The school's academic performance is generally higher than the district average but lower than the state average across most subjects and grade levels. Macy Mcclaugherty has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years.

While female students and African American students at Macy Mcclaugherty perform better than the school's overall ranking, white students and male students perform significantly worse, placing in the bottom 20% and bottom half of Virginia elementary schools, respectively, for their subgroups. This suggests the school may need to implement targeted interventions to address the unique needs of these underperforming student populations. Additionally, Macy Mcclaugherty's declining statewide ranking over the past several years indicates the school is facing increasing challenges in maintaining or improving its academic performance compared to other Virginia elementary schools.

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.
