Elmont Elementary

Summary:

Elmont Elementary is a public elementary school located in Ashland, Virginia, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 395. The school is part of the Hanover County Public Schools district, which is ranked 21 out of 130 districts in Virginia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Elmont Elementary has a relatively diverse student population, with 57.72% White, 10.63% African American, 24.56% Hispanic, and 2.03% Asian students. The school has shown strong academic performance, with students consistently outperforming the state averages in SOL (Standards of Learning) assessments for Mathematics, Science, and English Reading. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Elmont Elementary's 5th-grade students scored 83.33% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 67.98%. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 303 out of 1,110 Virginia elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 562 out of 1,114 in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school may be facing challenges in keeping up with the performance of other schools in the state.

When compared to nearby schools, Elmont Elementary generally outperforms John M. Gandy Elementary in academic metrics, but its performance is not as strong as the top-performing schools in the Henrico County Public Schools district, such as Echo Lake Elementary and Rivers Edge Elementary. Additionally, Elmont Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students (49.37% in 2022-2023) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to the school's performance and ranking.

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.
