Harvie Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of African American students (over 90%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 81.9% to 93.63% African American. Academically, Harvie's 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, Harvie's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 67.61%, compared to 65.93% for Henrico County and 70.11% for Virginia. Harvie Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Virginia elementary schools, with a ranking between 805 and 1063 out of 1100-1114 schools over the past several years, placing it in the bottom 10-15% of elementary schools in the state.

Interestingly, the nearby schools within the same district, such as Jacob L. Adams Elementary, Highland Springs Elementary, and Harold Macon Ratcliffe Elementary, also struggle academically, with most of them ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Virginia elementary schools as well. This suggests that the challenges faced by Harvie Elementary may be systemic within the Henrico County Public Schools district. Additionally, Harvie Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 89.9% to 96.12% over the past few years, significantly higher than the surrounding schools.

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.
