Rosa Parks Elementary

Summary:

Rosa Parks Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Woodbridge, Virginia, serving 618 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. It is part of the Prince William County Public Schools district, which is ranked 39 out of 130 school districts in Virginia.

While Rosa Parks Elementary has a diverse student population, with significant Hispanic (40.78%) and Asian (13.11%) representation, its academic performance, as measured by SOL (Standards of Learning) test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 261 out of 1,110 Virginia elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 684 out of 1,114 in 2022-2023, indicating a decline in its relative performance. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (48.38%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than the nearby schools like Ashland Elementary and Montclair Elementary.

The analysis of Rosa Parks Elementary reveals significant disparities in academic performance between student subgroups, with Asian and African American students generally outperforming Hispanic and white students. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address these achievement gaps. Despite the school's current challenges, the fact that it has previously achieved a 4-star rating and higher statewide rankings indicates that there is potential for improvement. By identifying and addressing the root causes of the school's decline, Rosa Parks Elementary can work to regain its former academic standing and provide a high-quality education for its diverse student population.

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.
