Patrick Henry High

Summary:

Patrick Henry High is a public high school located in Roanoke, Virginia, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 2,005. The school is part of the Roanoke City Public Schools district, which is ranked 119 out of 130 districts in Virginia and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Patrick Henry High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia high schools, ranking 316 out of 329 in the 2023-2024 school year and receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. This is significantly lower than the nearby Glenvar High (ranked 119) and Hidden Valley High (ranked 30), which are part of the higher-performing Roanoke County Public Schools district. Patrick Henry High's rankings for specific student subgroups, such as female students, male students, African American students, Hispanic students, and students with disabilities, are also in the bottom quartile of Virginia high schools, indicating that the school is struggling to provide equitable educational outcomes.

Furthermore, Patrick Henry High's proficiency rates on the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) assessments are consistently lower than the Roanoke City Public Schools district and the state of Virginia averages across various subject areas and grade levels. Despite the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (94.56% in the 2022-2023 school year), its spending per student ($8,219 in the 2020-2021 school year) is comparable to or higher than the spending levels of the nearby higher-performing schools, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources within the school and the district.

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.
