Hodges Manor Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Virginia elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's White, female, and low-socioeconomic status (SES) student subgroups perform particularly poorly, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Virginia elementary schools. In contrast, the school's African American student subgroup performs better, but still significantly below state and district averages. Despite the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and increased per-student spending, the academic outcomes suggest a need for more targeted interventions and effective use of resources.

When compared to nearby schools within the Portsmouth City Public Schools district, such as Victory Elementary and Simonsdale Elementary, Hodges Manor's academic performance is significantly lower. The school also lags behind schools in the neighboring Chesapeake City Public Schools district, such as Southwestern Elementary and Western Branch Intermediate, which consistently outperform Hodges Manor on SOL tests and have higher SchoolDigger rankings.

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.
