Meadows Of Dan Elementary

Summary:

Meadows of Dan Elementary is a public elementary school serving 401 students in grades PK-7 in the rural community of Meadows of Dan, Virginia. The school is part of the Patrick County Public Schools district, which is ranked 7th out of 130 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating.

Meadows of Dan Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with 56.36% White, 19.45% African American, 9.98% Hispanic, and 10.97% two or more races. This diversity is higher than nearby schools, which tend to have a larger percentage of White students. The school has also demonstrated strong academic performance in recent years, ranking among the top 20% of Virginia elementary schools in 2021-2022. However, its ranking has since declined, dropping to the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools in 2023-2024. While the school performs well for its low-income students, its White student subgroup lags behind, indicating a potential achievement gap that needs to be addressed.

Compared to nearby schools, Meadows of Dan Elementary generally outperforms Patrick Springs Primary and Blue Ridge Elementary, but falls behind the higher-performing Fancy Gap Elementary and Woolwine Elementary schools in the surrounding districts. The school's relatively high student-teacher ratio of 36.4 and lower per-student spending of around $5,000 suggest that it may be facing resource constraints that could impact its ability to provide a high-quality education for 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.
