Romney Elementary School

Summary:

Romney Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 490 students in grades PK-5 in the town of Romney, West Virginia. The school is part of the Hampshire County Schools district, which is ranked 21 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Romney Elementary School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years, its academic performance has generally been below the county and state averages, particularly in mathematics. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments lag behind its peers, with 3rd grade math proficiency at 35.5% compared to the county average of 50%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with concerning results for African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, as well as for students with special needs or from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, Romney Elementary School generally performs below the average. For example, Capon Bridge Elementary and Slanesville Elementary have stronger academic performance and higher statewide rankings. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Romney Elementary School to learn from and collaborate with these higher-performing schools to enhance its own academic outcomes and better serve its 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.
