Summary:

Landstown Elementary is a public elementary school in Virginia Beach, Virginia, serving 676 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Virginia Beach City Public Schools district, which is ranked 27th out of 130 districts in the state.

Landstown Elementary has a relatively diverse student population, with 35.5% White, 22.49% African American, 16.72% Hispanic, and 11.69% Asian students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by SOL (Standards of Learning) test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 67.01% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to 75.86% for the district and 70.11% for the state. Landstown Elementary's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from 164th out of 1,099 Virginia elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 764th out of 1,114 in 2023-2024, placing it in the bottom third of the state.

Landstown Elementary's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking 209th out of 238 Virginia elementary schools for Asian students, but only 390th out of 588 for African American students. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 44.08% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is higher than the state average. While the school's spending per student has increased and its student-teacher ratio has decreased, these efforts have not yet translated into significantly improved academic outcomes. Nearby schools, such as Glenwood Elementary and New Castle Elementary, have higher SOL test scores and statewide rankings than Landstown Elementary.

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.
