Walton Elementary/Middle School

Summary:

Walton Elementary/Middle School is a public school serving 241 students in grades PK-8 in Walton, West Virginia, which is part of the Roane County Schools district. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with some grade levels and subjects outperforming the state and district averages, while others lag behind.

One key area of concern is the significant disparities in academic performance among different student subgroups. Female students generally outperform their male peers, and White students tend to perform better than African American and multi-racial students. Additionally, students with special education needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds consistently underperform compared to their peers. This suggests that the school may need to implement more targeted interventions and support systems to address the unique needs of these student populations.

Despite these challenges, Walton Elementary/Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.4 to 10.3 students per teacher, which is lower than nearby schools like Arnoldsburg School and Flinn Elementary School. This small class size may be a strength, as it can lead to more personalized instruction and support for students. However, the school's mixed academic performance suggests that class size alone may not be the sole factor in determining student outcomes.

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.
