Summary

George J. McIntosh Elementary is a public elementary school in Newport News, Virginia, serving 461 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Newport News City Public Schools district, which is ranked 111 out of 129 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

George J. McIntosh Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Virginia elementary schools over the past several years, with a 0 or 1 out of 5 stars rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is one of the lowest-performing schools in the state. The school's performance is particularly low for female, male, and economically disadvantaged students, as well as students with disabilities, with rankings in the bottom 10-20% of Virginia elementary schools for these subgroups. Additionally, the school has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.1% to 23.4% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

While George J. McIntosh Elementary has a relatively high per-student spending level and a low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools in the Newport News City Public Schools district, such as T. Ryland Sanford Elementary, Willis A. Jenkins Elementary, and Richneck Elementary, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes. The school's academic proficiency rates on Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) assessments are consistently well below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with many proficiency rates in the 30-40% range.
