Dumbarton Elementary

Summary:

Dumbarton Elementary is a public elementary school in Richmond, Virginia, serving 598 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Henrico County Public Schools district, which is ranked 88 out of 130 school districts in Virginia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dumbarton Elementary has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (38.8%) and Asian (10.03%) students compared to the surrounding schools. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by SOL (Standards of Learning) test scores, is generally lower than the Henrico County and Virginia state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 48.84%, compared to 65.93% for Henrico County and 70.11% for Virginia. Dumbarton Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools, with a ranking of 1032 out of 1114 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 90% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the per-student spending at Dumbarton Elementary ($9,473 in 2020-2021) is not significantly higher than the surrounding schools, such as Glen Allen Elementary and Echo Lake Elementary, which have significantly higher academic achievement and statewide rankings. This suggests a potential need for additional resources and targeted interventions to support the diverse student population at Dumbarton Elementary.

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.
