Dunlow Elementary School

Summary:

Dunlow Elementary School is a small public elementary school in Dunlow, West Virginia, serving 83 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Wayne County Schools district, which is ranked 15th out of 55 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Dunlow Elementary School has a unique racial composition, with 100% of its students being White, in contrast to the more diverse student populations at nearby schools like Prichard Elementary School and Wayne Elementary School. The school's student performance on state assessments is mixed, with strong performance in 5th grade English Language Arts but struggles in 5th grade Mathematics. However, the school's rankings for specific student groups, such as female students and low socioeconomic status students, are relatively strong, with some rankings in the top 100 schools in the state.

Dunlow Elementary School's small size, with a low student-teacher ratio, may contribute to its unique dynamics and challenges. While the school's performance is mixed compared to the state and county averages, it generally outperforms the nearby schools in the Lincoln County and Mingo County school districts, which have lower overall rankings and student achievement. The school's fluctuating ranking and strong support for low-income students provide interesting insights into its overall performance and the factors that may be influencing it.

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.
