Dominion Trail Elementary

Summary:

Dominion Trail Elementary is a public elementary school in Ashburn, Virginia, serving 587 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Loudoun County Public Schools district, which is ranked 24th out of 130 school districts in Virginia.

Dominion Trail Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with 38.84% White, 9.71% African American, 24.02% Hispanic, and 20.44% Asian students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by SOL test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 69.41%, compared to the district's 78.75% and the state's 70.11%. Additionally, Dominion Trail has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (41.23%) than nearby schools like Mill Run Elementary and Moorefield Station Elementary.

Despite these challenges, Dominion Trail Elementary has a lower student-teacher ratio (12.8) compared to some nearby schools. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 368th out of 1,100 Virginia elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 536th out of 1,114 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school's performance has not kept pace with other schools in the state, and addressing the performance disparities among student subgroups should be a key priority for the school.

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.
