Occohannock Elementary

Summary:

Occohannock Elementary is a public elementary school located in Exmore, Virginia, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 369 students. The school is part of the Northampton County Public Schools district, which is ranked 124 out of 130 districts in Virginia and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Occohannock Elementary has a diverse student population, with 43.63% African American, 23.31% Hispanic, and 26.56% White students. This racial composition is notably different from the nearby Accawmacke Elementary and Pungoteague Elementary schools, which have higher percentages of White students and lower percentages of Hispanic students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Virginia elementary schools, with a ranking between 790 and 1,021 out of 1,103 to 1,114 schools over the past several years. However, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with strong performance for English Language Learner (ELL) students but lower performance for African American students.

Occohannock Elementary faces significant challenges, including low academic performance, high poverty rates, and declining enrollment. Over 100% of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income student population. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests, is generally lower than the Northampton County Public Schools district and the state of Virginia averages. These challenges are further highlighted by the stronger performance of the nearby Accawmacke Elementary and Pungoteague Elementary schools, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to improve the educational outcomes for the students at Occohannock Elementary.

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.
