Summary:
The 24017 zip code area of Roanoke, Virginia is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 high school, all part of the Roanoke City Public Schools district. These schools serve a high-poverty community, with all of them having extremely high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the standout schools, Roanoke Academy for Mathematics & Science Elementary stands out with the highest spending per student and the lowest student-teacher ratio, which likely contributes to its generally stronger test scores compared to the district and state averages. Fairview Elementary also performs well academically despite having the highest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting that increased funding and smaller class sizes may be associated with better outcomes.
In contrast, William Fleming High School lags behind the district and state in test scores, highlighting the stark disparities in academic performance between the high school and elementary schools in this area. These disparities, coupled with the high poverty levels, suggest that students in the 24017 zip code face significant challenges in their educational outcomes, and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these issues and improve opportunities for all students in the community.
