George H. Moody Middle

Summary:

George H. Moody Middle is a public middle school located in Richmond, Virginia, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,072 students and is part of the Henrico County Public Schools district.

George H. Moody Middle stands out for its diverse student population, with a significantly higher percentage of Asian students (39.46%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 4.24% to 13.39% Asian students. The school consistently outperforms the district and the state of Virginia in various SOL (Standards of Learning) assessments, particularly in advanced subjects like Geometry, Algebra I, Algebra II, and Earth Science. In 2023-2024, the school had 100% proficiency in Geometry for 7th grade, compared to 100% for the district and 100% for the state. Additionally, George H. Moody Middle has a higher statewide ranking and rating compared to the surrounding schools, such as Martin Luther King Junior Middle and Quioccasin Middle.

While the school's overall academic performance is strong, there are some areas of concern. The school's Asian and multi-racial student subgroups consistently perform at a high level, ranking among the top schools in the state, but the African American and Hispanic student subgroups tend to perform below the state average. This uneven student group performance indicates a need for targeted interventions and support to ensure equitable outcomes for all students. Additionally, the school's lower percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients (39.55%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 44.03% to 98.67%, may contribute to its stronger academic performance, as socioeconomic status is often correlated with educational outcomes.

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.
