Elydale Middle

Summary:

Elydale Middle School is a public middle school located in Ewing, Virginia, serving grades 5-7 with a total enrollment of 139 students. The school is part of the Lee County Public Schools district, which is ranked 45 out of 130 school districts in Virginia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Elydale Middle has shown strong academic performance in recent years, with several grades and subjects exceeding the state and district averages in SOL (Standards of Learning) test scores. The school's performance has been variable over the years, with rankings ranging from 24th (2018-2019) to 299th (2013-2014) out of Virginia middle schools. Elydale Middle has performed particularly well in English Reading, with 80-86% of students proficient or better in grades 5-7 in the 2023-2024 school year, exceeding the state and district averages. However, in Mathematics, the school has shown mixed results, with 5th and 6th-grade students performing above the state and district averages, but 7th-grade students lagging behind.

The school has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.8 to 12.2 students per teacher over the past three school years. Additionally, Elydale Middle has performed well for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking 79th out of 402 Virginia middle schools in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's student population is overwhelmingly white, which raises questions about the school's ability to provide a diverse and inclusive learning environment.

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.
