Crossroads PreK-8 School

Summary:

Crossroads PreK-8 School is a public school in Norfolk, Virginia, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. With a diverse student population, the school has faced academic challenges, ranking in the bottom quartile of Virginia elementary schools, but it also demonstrates strengths in specific subject areas and grade levels.

While Crossroads PreK-8 School's overall academic performance lags behind the district and state, it stands out in several key areas. The school boasts 100% proficiency in 8th-grade Algebra I, significantly higher than the Norfolk City Public Schools and Virginia averages. Additionally, the school's 7th and 8th-grade students excel in Civics and Economics, as well as Geography and Earth Science, outperforming their peers across the district and state. Interestingly, the school's Hispanic students perform better than their African American and White counterparts, ranking in the top half of Virginia elementary schools for reading and math.

Crossroads PreK-8 School's low student-teacher ratio of 12:1, compared to the district average of 13.9:1 to 15.6:1 for nearby schools like Tanners Creek Elementary and Norview Elementary, suggests a focus on supporting its economically disadvantaged student population, with nearly 98% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's military-connected students perform significantly worse than their peers, ranking in the bottom 10% of Virginia elementary schools, indicating a need for targeted interventions to address their unique needs.

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 It's a very hard high poverty school. Poor management, lots of bullies among students and even to teachers from students, parents and administrators. Lack of resources, no support, take up all planning time, no help of making copies. People like to report each other. Close Quote

Open Quote My daughter's education was hampered at this school. She did not learn anything, except what she already learned in Kindergarten and first grade while we lived in NOVA. What she did learn last year for second grade, is what I taught her at home. I'm happy she only had to attend one year at this school. Avoid at all costs. 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.
