East Park Elementary School

Summary:

East Park Elementary School is a public elementary school in Fairmont, West Virginia, serving 330 students in grades PK-4 as part of the Marion County Schools district, which is ranked 9th out of 55 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Over the past several years, East Park Elementary has consistently ranked in the middle to upper-middle range of West Virginia elementary schools, with a 3-star rating. The school's student population is significantly less diverse than nearby schools, with a much higher percentage of white students. However, East Park Elementary outperforms the nearby Monongah Elementary and Watson Elementary schools, with its students consistently scoring above the Marion County and West Virginia state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts assessments for 3rd and 4th grades.

While East Park Elementary outperforms some nearby schools, it lags behind the higher-performing Jayenne Elementary, Pleasant Valley Elementary, and others in the region. The school's relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients suggests it serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, but it has performed well in supporting its special education and low-income student populations.

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.
