Summary:

Echo Lake Elementary is a high-performing public elementary school in Glen Allen, Virginia, serving 528 students in grades PK-5. This school stands out for its exceptional academic achievements, diverse student population, and efficient resource allocation.

Echo Lake Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Virginia, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students significantly outperform their peers in the Henrico County Public Schools district and the state of Virginia on SOL (Standards of Learning) assessments, with proficiency rates often exceeding 80% and sometimes reaching over 90%. This strong academic performance is particularly impressive given the school's diverse student population, which includes a higher percentage of Asian (28.79%) and White (46.02%) students compared to nearby schools. Additionally, Echo Lake has a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students (23.09% to 32.39%) than some neighboring schools, such as Maude Trevvett Elementary (88.08%), Skipwith Elementary (89.17%), and Dumbarton Elementary (90.47%).

Echo Lake Elementary's exceptional performance is further highlighted by its higher per-student spending compared to the state and district averages, ranging from $6,790 to $9,079 per student over the past few years. This investment in resources appears to pay off, as the school's students consistently outperform their peers across all grade levels and subject areas, with particularly impressive rankings for Asian and African American student subgroups. Echo Lake's ability to maintain its high performance over an extended period, even during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, is a testament to the quality of its educational program and the dedication of its staff.

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.
