Tuckahoe Elementary

Summary:

Tuckahoe Elementary is a public elementary school in Richmond, Virginia, serving around 650 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.

Tuckahoe Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Virginia, with a statewide ranking between 9-36 over the past several years and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade. The school's students consistently outperform the Henrico County and Virginia state averages on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests in mathematics, science, and English reading across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Tuckahoe's 3rd-grade mathematics proficiency rate was 96.04%, compared to 65.93% for Henrico County and 70.11% for Virginia. However, Tuckahoe Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (around 90%) compared to the surrounding schools, such as Skipwith Elementary and Jackson Davis Elementary, which have more diverse student populations.

Tuckahoe Elementary also has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 6.44% to 11.54% over the past few years, which is significantly lower than the surrounding schools. Additionally, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15.8 to 17.8 over the past three school years, lower than the ratios of many nearby schools. These factors suggest that Tuckahoe Elementary may have access to greater resources and funding, which could contribute to its exceptional academic performance. However, the significant performance gaps between Tuckahoe Elementary and the surrounding schools, particularly those with higher percentages of economically disadvantaged and minority students, raise questions about educational equity and the distribution of resources within the Henrico County school district.

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.
