Creeds Elementary

Summary:

Creeds Elementary is a public elementary school in Virginia Beach, Virginia, serving 315 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.

Creeds Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Virginia, with a statewide ranking of 71 out of 1,114 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students perform exceptionally well on SOL (Standards of Learning) assessments, often outperforming the Virginia Beach City Public Schools district and the state averages. However, the school's performance for low socioeconomic status students and military-connected students is not as strong, ranking 242 and 90 out of 1,036 and 195 Virginia elementary schools, respectively, in the 2023-2024 school year. Creeds Elementary has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 20.95% in the 2022-2023 school year, compared to the nearby schools like Hickory Elementary and New Castle Elementary.

The school's student population is predominantly white, at 86.67% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is in contrast to the more diverse student populations of the nearby schools. This may indicate that the school's attendance zone encompasses a relatively homogeneous community. Additionally, Creeds Elementary has a higher per-student spending of $16,315 in the 2020-2021 school year, compared to the nearby schools, which range from $8,926 to $12,718 per student. This higher spending may contribute to the school's strong academic performance, but it also raises questions about the efficient use of resources and the potential for cost-effective strategies to achieve similar outcomes.

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.
