While Cesar Tarrant Middle has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (66.12%) compared to nearby schools, its overall performance is relatively low. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia middle schools over the past 5 years, with test scores that are generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 7th grade math proficiency rate was 19.44%, compared to 35.1% for the district and 52.49% for the state. Additionally, Cesar Tarrant Middle has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.16% to 74.11% over the past 3 years, which is significantly higher than the nearby Francis W. Jones Magnet Middle school.

However, Cesar Tarrant Middle's strengths lie in its support for certain student subgroups. While the school's overall performance is low, its African American and Hispanic student subgroups perform better, ranking in the top 50% of Virginia middle schools. Additionally, the school's homeless and military-connected student subgroups perform relatively well, ranking in the top 50% and top 25% of Virginia middle schools, respectively. This suggests that the school may have effective support systems in place for these student populations. In contrast, the school's disabled student subgroup performs poorly, ranking in the bottom 25% of Virginia middle schools, indicating a need for improved support and resources for students with disabilities.

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.
