Park View High

Summary:

Park View High is a public high school in Sterling, Virginia, serving 1,455 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Loudoun County Public Schools district, which is ranked 24th out of 130 school districts in Virginia.

While Park View High has a predominantly Hispanic student population, making up 72.78% of the student body, the school's academic performance is significantly lower than the district and state averages. The school consistently ranks in the bottom half of Virginia high schools, receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests is also significantly lower than the Loudoun County Public Schools district and the state of Virginia across various subjects and grade levels. This racial disparity in academic performance is a concerning trend at the school.

Compared to nearby schools in the Loudoun County district, such as Independence High, Briar Woods High, and Riverside High, Park View High consistently underperforms on academic measures. These schools have more diverse student populations, with higher percentages of White and Asian students, and lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and the school's high spending per student at Park View High suggest that factors such as access to resources, family support, and community engagement may be playing a significant role in the school's academic challenges.

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.
