Richard C. Haydon Elementary

Summary:

Richard C. Haydon Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Manassas, Virginia, with a student population of 608 and is part of the Manassas City Public Schools district, which is ranked 122 out of 130 school districts in Virginia and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly Hispanic (71.88%) and a high percentage of students (75%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Academically, Richard C. Haydon Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Virginia elementary schools, with performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 43.97%, compared to 45.77% for Manassas City and 70.11% for Virginia.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending, which has increased from $10,132 in 2019-2020 to $13,474 in 2020-2021, its academic performance remains poor. In comparison, the nearby Loch Lomond Elementary and Pennington Traditional magnet schools demonstrate significantly higher academic performance, suggesting that addressing the unique challenges faced by Richard C. Haydon Elementary, such as language barriers and access to resources, could be crucial in improving 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.

Open Quote RC Haydon is an excellent school with teachers who care and, most of all, a Principal staff that is stellar. I've had two children attend this school and both have had a wonderful experience where they have received a great education. Close Quote

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.
