Trantwood Elementary

Summary:

Trantwood Elementary is a high-performing public elementary school in Virginia Beach, Virginia, serving 499 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Virginia Beach City Public Schools district, which is ranked 27th out of 130 districts in the state, Trantwood consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Virginia.

Trantwood's students consistently outperform the district and state averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Trantwood's 3rd-grade mathematics proficiency rate was 92.31%, compared to 75.86% for the Virginia Beach district and 70.11% for the state. The school's student subgroups, including female students, male students, Hispanic students, and white students, also rank among the top in Virginia, with the school's military-connected students performing exceptionally well. Trantwood's relatively low student-teacher ratio and increasing per-student spending suggest a commitment to providing adequate resources and support for student learning.

While Trantwood's academic performance is impressive, the school's student population is significantly less diverse compared to nearby schools, such as Brookwood Elementary, Windsor Woods Elementary, and Windsor Oaks Elementary. This demographic profile may contribute to the school's strong academic performance, but it also raises questions about equity and access for underrepresented student groups in the area.

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.
