Summary

Red Oak-Sturgeon Elementary is a public elementary school in Alberta, Virginia, serving 184 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Brunswick County Public Schools district.

While the school has a relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $6,195 to $8,623 over the past few years, its performance lags behind the state and district averages across multiple academic measures. Red Oak-Sturgeon Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 9.0% to 21.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Meherrin Powellton Elementary and Totaro Elementary.

The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 98.34% to 99.5%, suggests that there may be underlying socioeconomic factors contributing to the challenges faced by Red Oak-Sturgeon Elementary.
