Summary:
The city of Riner, Virginia is home to a single elementary school, Auburn Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance, as measured by its 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, is on par with the Montgomery County Public Schools district average but slightly below the state average.
Auburn Elementary's test scores in mathematics, reading, science, and social studies (VA Studies) are generally above the state averages, but mixed compared to the district averages. For example, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency (75.9%) was slightly below the district average (77.93%) but well above the state average (72.89%), while the 5th grade science proficiency (67.78%) was below both the district (71.82%) and state (68.94%) averages. The school also faces a relatively high percentage of students (48.31%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
Despite these challenges, Auburn Elementary has maintained a relatively consistent performance over the past few years, with its statewide ranking and 3-star rating remaining stable. The school's per-student spending of $7,247 in the 2020-2021 school year and a student-teacher ratio of 15.1 to 1 are also relevant metrics that can impact the quality of instruction and support available to students. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions, informed by a deeper understanding of the school's unique context and needs, could help drive improvements and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
