Elizabeth D. Redd Elementary

Summary:

Elizabeth D. Redd Elementary is a public elementary school in Richmond, Virginia, serving 392 students in grades PK-5. The school faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly African American and Hispanic, and an extremely high percentage of students from low-income families.

Despite spending between $8,200 and $10,010 per student, Elizabeth D. Redd Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Virginia, with proficiency rates on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests that are significantly below state and district averages. The school's performance has been declining in recent years, with the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient in mathematics dropping from 52.46% in 2022-2023 to 35.42% in 2023-2024. Compared to nearby schools in the Richmond City Public Schools district, Elizabeth D. Redd Elementary ranks even lower, with a 2023-2024 ranking of 985 out of 1,114 Virginia elementary schools, while Southampton Elementary and J.L. Francis Elementary ranked 1,026 and 972, respectively.

The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students ranking in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools, and White students ranking in the bottom 3%. Despite the high spending per student, Elizabeth D. Redd Elementary has a relatively high student-to-teacher ratio, suggesting that the school may not be effectively utilizing its resources to support student learning. These challenges indicate the need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the root causes of the school's performance issues and provide targeted support to students and teachers.

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.
