E.C. Glass High

Summary:

E.C. Glass High is a public high school in Lynchburg, Virginia, serving 1,325 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Lynchburg City Public Schools district, which is ranked 112 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

E.C. Glass High has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American (45.58%) and Hispanic (6.19%) students. However, the school consistently ranks in the bottom half of Virginia high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Student performance on SOL tests is generally lower than state and district averages, particularly in subjects like Geometry, Biology, and World History. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching over 92% in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the nearby Rustburg High and Jefferson Forest High.

While E.C. Glass High spends more per student ($7,591 in 2020-2021) compared to some nearby schools, the school's performance data shows significant achievement gaps between different racial and ethnic groups. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past decade, from 196 out of 327 Virginia high schools in 2020-2021 to 265 out of 329 in 2023-2024. These challenges suggest that the school may need to implement comprehensive strategies to improve student outcomes and close achievement gaps.

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.
