Augusta Elementary School

Summary:

Augusta Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Augusta, West Virginia, with a student population of 305. 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 Augusta Elementary School has a very homogeneous student population, with over 98% of students identifying as White, its academic performance is generally below the county and state averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 34.2% in 2023-2024, compared to 50% for the Hampshire County Schools district and 53.2% for the state. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from a high of 136 out of 402 West Virginia elementary schools in 2014-2015 to a low of 282 out of 368 in the current 2023-2024 school year, and it is currently rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools in the same district, such as Capon Bridge Elementary and Slanesville Elementary, Augusta Elementary School generally underperforms in terms of academic proficiency rates and statewide rankings. The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (48.24% in 2020-2021) may be a contributing factor to its academic struggles, and the lack of racial diversity at the school may limit its exposure to diverse perspectives and experiences.

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.
