Summary:

The Roanoke City Public Schools district in Virginia consists of 24 schools, including 17 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 114 out of 129 school districts in Virginia and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

A few schools stand out as performing better than the district and state averages. Grandin Court Elementary is ranked 161 out of 1,110 elementary schools in Virginia and has a 4 out of 5 star rating, with very high proficiency rates across math, reading, and science. Highland Park Elementary and Crystal Spring Elementary are also high-performing, with rankings of 406 and 90 out of 1,110 elementary schools, respectively, and strong proficiency rates.

However, the data reveals significant disparities in performance across the district. While a few schools excel, many others struggle with very low proficiency rates compared to state averages, particularly in subjects like math and reading. This achievement gap appears to be correlated with socioeconomic factors, as the schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates tend to have the lowest test scores. Additionally, the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 15.7% and wide range in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios suggest systemic challenges that need to be addressed across Roanoke City Public Schools.
