Tuckahoe Middle

Summary:

Tuckahoe Middle is a public middle school in Richmond, Virginia, serving 1,003 students in grades 6-8. While the school generally outperforms the Henrico County and Virginia state averages on academic assessments, it has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, dropping from 119th out of 419 Virginia middle schools in 2020-2021 to 282nd out of 417 in 2023-2024.

One of Tuckahoe Middle's key differentiators is its significantly higher percentage of White students (58.92%) compared to the surrounding schools, which tend to have more diverse student populations. However, the school struggles with lower rankings and proficiency rates for Asian, African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and low socioeconomic status students, suggesting potential equity issues that the school and district may need to address. Additionally, while Tuckahoe Middle outperforms the district and state averages, some nearby schools like Holman Middle, Robious Middle, and Pocahontas Middle demonstrate stronger academic performance, particularly in mathematics and reading.

Another notable finding is the significant increase in the percentage of Tuckahoe Middle students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 31.37% in 2021-2022 to 47.46% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of students from lower-income households. This, combined with the school's declining statewide ranking and equity concerns, suggests that the school and Henrico County Public Schools district may need to prioritize addressing specific areas for improvement to ensure all students receive a high-quality education.

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.
