Summary:

John C. Myers Elementary is a public elementary school in Broadway, Virginia, serving 496 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Rockingham County Public Schools district, which is ranked 90 out of 130 districts in the state.

John C. Myers Elementary has a predominantly white student population (73.59%), with a higher percentage of Hispanic students (16.33%) compared to the state average. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 321 out of 1,100 Virginia elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 609 out of 1,114 in the current school year. Its SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 4 stars to 2 stars. While the school's Hispanic students perform relatively better than other subgroups, the white students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds have lower rankings compared to the overall school performance.

Despite the decline in rankings, John C. Myers Elementary generally outperforms the Rockingham County Public Schools district and the state of Virginia in mathematics and English reading proficiency, particularly in the upper elementary grades. However, nearby schools like Linville-Edom Elementary and Fulks Run Elementary have higher academic performance in these areas. The school's relatively high percentage of students from low-income families (52.22%) may be a contributing factor to its performance challenges.

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.
