Frederick Douglass Elementary

Summary:

Frederick Douglass Elementary is a public elementary school serving 325 students in grades PK-4 in Winchester, Virginia, which is part of the Winchester City Public Schools district.

The school stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American, Hispanic, and Asian students compared to nearby schools like Redbud Run Elementary and Orchard View Elementary. However, the school's academic performance has been mixed, with strong results in 3rd and 4th grade math but weaker performance in reading. Additionally, a high 81.85% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly more than the nearby schools.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.3, the overall academic outcomes suggest a need for more targeted interventions and resource allocation. Enrollment has also declined in recent years, and the racial composition of the student body has shifted, with fewer white students and more Hispanic students. To address these challenges, the school and Frederick County Public Schools district may need to implement comprehensive strategies to improve student learning and support the diverse needs of the school community.

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.
