Quinton Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in science and social studies. The school's 5th grade students excel on the state's science SOL test, with 81.08% scoring proficient or better, compared to the district (77.08%) and state (67.26%) averages. Additionally, the school's 4th grade students perform well on the VA Studies SOL, with 72% scoring proficient or better, surpassing the district (73.6%) and state (68.75%) averages. However, the school's performance in math and reading is relatively lower than the district and some nearby schools, especially in the lower grades. Quinton Elementary's African American students perform significantly better than the state average, but the school's white students and students with disabilities lag behind their peers.

Compared to the surrounding schools, Quinton Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (78.62%) and a relatively low free and reduced lunch rate of 34.01%. The school's student-teacher ratio of 12.5 is also lower than the nearby schools and the state average. These factors suggest that Quinton Elementary may serve a more affluent student population, which could contribute to its strong academic performance. However, the school's lower performance for certain student subgroups indicates that there is room for improvement in addressing the needs of all learners.

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.

2023	491	39.0	12.5	34

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
