Shenandoah Elementary

Summary:

Shenandoah Elementary is a public elementary school in Shenandoah, Virginia, serving 315 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Page County Public Schools district, which is ranked 48 out of 130 school districts in the state.

Shenandoah Elementary stands out for its consistently high academic performance, outpacing the district and state averages in standardized test scores. In 2023-2024, 83.64% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in SOL/Mathematics, compared to 74.62% for the district and 70.11% for the state. The school also performs particularly well for its female students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking higher than the state average for these subgroups. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from 453 in 2017-2018 to 429 in 2023-2024, a trend worth further investigation.

Compared to the nearby schools in the Rockingham County Public Schools district, Shenandoah Elementary generally outperforms them in test scores and rankings, despite serving a higher percentage of low-income students. This suggests that the school may have effective practices or resources that could be shared with the surrounding schools. However, Shenandoah Elementary's enrollment has decreased slightly over the years, from 315 students in 2022-2023 to 315 students in 2023-2024, a trend that warrants monitoring.

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.
