G.H. Reid Elementary

Summary:

G.H. Reid Elementary is a public elementary school in Richmond, Virginia, serving 637 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Richmond City Public Schools district, which is ranked 113 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating.

G.H. Reid Elementary faces significant challenges compared to other schools in the area. The school has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (61.07%) and a lower percentage of White students (1.57%) than the state average. Academically, G.H. Reid consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Virginia elementary schools, with proficiency rates in SOL assessments that are significantly lower than state and district averages. Over 99% of the students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. While the school's spending per student ($8,377) is higher than the state average, it is lower than some nearby Chesterfield County schools, and it has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 14.8.

When compared to nearby schools in the Richmond City district, such as Swansboro Elementary and Broad Rock Elementary, G.H. Reid Elementary performs significantly worse academically. The nearby J.A. Chalkley Elementary and A.M. Davis Elementary in Chesterfield County also outperform G.H. Reid, despite serving a similar demographic of students. This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics, such as district-level policies and resources, may be contributing to the academic disparities.

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.
