Charles M. Johnson Elementary

Summary:

Charles M. Johnson Elementary is a public elementary school in Richmond, Virginia, serving 392 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Henrico County Public Schools district, which is ranked 88 out of 130 districts in Virginia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Charles M. Johnson Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 10% of Virginia elementary schools. The school has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very low performance. Its proficiency rates on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests are significantly lower than the Henrico County and Virginia state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 41.27%, compared to 65.93% for Henrico County and 70.11% for the state. This may be due in part to the school's high percentage of Hispanic students (43.11%) and extremely high free and reduced lunch rates (89.8% to 99.28%), which are much higher than the surrounding Richmond City Public Schools.

While Charles M. Johnson Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance lags significantly behind nearby schools like Maude Trevvett Elementary, Dumbarton Elementary, and Linwood Holton Elementary, which have more diverse student populations and higher academic achievement. Addressing the challenges at Charles M. Johnson Elementary will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational outcomes for its students.

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.
