Virginia Avenue Charlotte Dehart Elementary

Summary:

Virginia Avenue Charlotte Dehart Elementary is a public elementary school serving 441 students in grades PK-4 in Winchester, Virginia, which is part of the Winchester City Public Schools district.

The school faces several challenges, including consistently ranking in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools, with lower proficiency rates on state tests compared to the district and state averages. This is likely due to the high percentage of students (76.87%) from low-income families, which is significantly higher than the district and state. However, the school's higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio suggest that the district and school are making efforts to provide additional resources and support to address the needs of the student population. Nearby schools in the district, such as Frederick Douglass Elementary, John Kerr Elementary, and Garland R. Quarles Elementary, generally perform better on academic measures, suggesting that the challenges faced by Virginia Avenue Charlotte Dehart Elementary may be more pronounced.

The school's student population has also become more diverse over the past few years, with a decrease in the percentage of White students and an increase in the percentage of Hispanic and multi-racial students. This shift in the student population may present both opportunities and challenges for the school in terms of addressing the diverse needs of its students and ensuring equitable educational 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.

Open Quote The data on this is far from accurate. This school is fully accredited and doing great. Look at the VDOE. The staff here is amazing.

I am an active parent here and it is a shame that parents see this when it is not accurate. Close Quote

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.
