Mary Calcott Elementary

Summary:

Mary Calcott Elementary is a public elementary school in Norfolk, Virginia, serving 438 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Norfolk City Public Schools district, which is ranked 105 out of 130 districts in the state.

Mary Calcott Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the district and state in various SOL (Standards of Learning) assessments across grades 3-5. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 65.45% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 56.74% for the district and 70.11% for the state. The school also has a more racially diverse student population than many nearby schools, such as Larrymore Elementary and Tanners Creek Elementary.

While Mary Calcott Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, the school generally outperforms nearby schools in academic assessments, particularly in Mathematics and English Reading. This suggests that the school may be providing a higher quality of education compared to some of its neighbors, such as Oceanair Elementary. However, the school's performance gaps between student subgroups indicate that there may be opportunities for improvement in addressing the needs of all students.

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.
