Summary:
The 24013 zip code area of Roanoke, Virginia is home to 3 public schools: 2 elementary schools (Fallon Park Elementary, Morningside Elementary) and 1 middle school (John P. Fishwick Middle). These schools serve a diverse student population, with high rates of economic disadvantage, as evidenced by the very high free/reduced lunch rates across all 3 campuses.
Among the 3 schools, Morningside Elementary stands out as the highest performer, with strong test scores in 5th grade Mathematics and Science that exceed the Roanoke City Public Schools and Virginia state averages. In contrast, Fallon Park Elementary has the lowest test scores across the board, with proficiency rates ranging from 33% to 52%. John P. Fishwick Middle stands out for its exceptional performance in Algebra I and Geometry, with proficiency rates around 90-95%, which are on par with or above the district and state averages.
The data suggests that while these schools face significant challenges due to the high levels of economic disadvantage in their communities, there are pockets of academic excellence, particularly at the middle school level in advanced mathematics. Addressing the overall low test scores, especially in Mathematics and English Reading, could be an area of focus for these schools and the district to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
