Richmond County Elementary

Summary:

Richmond County Elementary is a public elementary school in Warsaw, Virginia, serving 821 students in grades PK-7. The school is part of the Richmond County Public Schools district, which is ranked 78 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Richmond County Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (58.59%) compared to nearby schools like Lawson-Marriott Elementary and Northumberland Elementary, which have more diverse student populations, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. This is in contrast to the higher rankings and ratings (2-3 stars) of the nearby schools. Richmond County Elementary generally performs below the state and district averages in most subject areas, particularly in Mathematics and Science, but excels in 7th-grade Algebra I, with 100% of students scoring proficient or better.

Another key factor is the school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 70.83% to 75.27% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools. Additionally, Richmond County Elementary spends between $6,639 and $6,996 per student, which is lower than the spending at the nearby schools, which ranges from $7,724 to $10,591 per student. These socioeconomic challenges may contribute to the school's lower academic performance, and the racial makeup of the school raises questions about equity and access to educational opportunities in the region.

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.
