College Park Elementary

Summary:

College Park Elementary is a public elementary school in Virginia Beach, Virginia, serving 484 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 and has a 4-star rating.

College Park Elementary faces significant academic challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a much higher percentage of African American students (67.98%) than surrounding schools, which range from 18.45% to 52.56%. College Park Elementary also consistently ranks in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools, with a 2-star rating, lower than the higher-ranked Tallwood Elementary and Fairfield Elementary nearby. The school's test scores in core subjects are significantly lower than district and state averages, and over 100% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, much higher than the 37.83% to 92.44% range of nearby schools.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($14,197) than surrounding schools, which range from $9,259 to $12,906 per student, College Park Elementary's performance has declined over the past few years. The school's lower student-teacher ratio of 11.4 also does not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes. However, the school's African American students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform better relative to their peers in Virginia, suggesting that the school may be able to leverage these strengths to improve overall achievement.

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.
