Red Mill Elementary is a public elementary school in Virginia Beach, Virginia, serving 566 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.

Red Mill Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Virginia, receiving a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 42nd out of 1,114 schools in the state. The school's students demonstrate exceptional academic achievement, with significantly higher proficiency rates on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests compared to the Virginia Beach City Public Schools district and the state of Virginia across various subjects and grade levels. However, the school has a predominantly white student population, with only 4.59% African American and 8.48% Hispanic students, which is lower than the nearby schools like Seatack Elementary an Achievable Dream Academy and Ocean Lakes Elementary.

Additionally, Red Mill Elementary has a low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at only 13.6%, suggesting that the school serves a relatively affluent student population compared to the surrounding schools. This could have implications for the school's resources, funding, and the educational opportunities available to its students. The school also has a higher student-teacher ratio of 14.7, which may present challenges in terms of individualized attention and support for students, compared to the nearby schools like Landstown Elementary and Christopher Farms 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.
