Anna Jarvis Elementary School

Summary:

Anna Jarvis Elementary School is a public elementary school in Grafton, West Virginia, serving 503 students in grades PK-4 as part of the Taylor County Schools district.

While the school has a predominantly white student population (98.21%), it has struggled academically in recent years, ranking 309 out of 368 West Virginia elementary schools and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance varies significantly across different student groups, with relatively strong results for special education students but weaker outcomes for low-income and minority students. Anna Jarvis Elementary's test scores in mathematics and English language arts consistently fall below state and district averages, with proficiency rates 10-15 percentage points lower.

Compared to nearby schools like West Taylor Elementary School, which ranked 70 out of 368 West Virginia elementary schools, Anna Jarvis Elementary lags behind academically. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 14.6 to 15.5 students per teacher suggests it may be providing effective support for its special education population, an area where it outperforms its overall academic standing.

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.
