Kenbridge Elementary

Summary:

Kenbridge Elementary is a public elementary school in Kenbridge, Virginia, serving 370 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Lunenburg County Public Schools district, which is ranked 83 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kenbridge Elementary has a relatively diverse student population, with 32.7% White, 32.16% African American, and 30.54% Hispanic students. However, the school consistently ranks in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools, with a ranking between 615-879 out of 1,114 schools over the past several years. Its performance on Standards of Learning (SOL) assessments is generally lower than the state and district averages. Notably, the school has an exceptionally high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 99.17% to 100.81% in recent years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to nearby schools like Victoria Elementary, Totaro Elementary, and South Hill Elementary, Kenbridge Elementary generally performs worse on SOL assessments, particularly in mathematics and reading. However, its performance is better than that of some other nearby schools, such as Blackstone Primary. Despite these challenges, Kenbridge Elementary's diverse student body and relatively high per-student spending may provide opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

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.
