Best Public Schools in Austinville, VA

Summary:

The city of Austinville, Virginia is home to two high-performing elementary schools: Laurel Elementary and Jackson Memorial Elementary. Both schools consistently rank in the top half of Virginia elementary schools and excel in key areas like test scores, student-teacher ratios, and school rankings.

Laurel Elementary and Jackson Memorial Elementary have similar student demographics, with predominantly white student populations. However, Laurel Elementary has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a lower-income student population compared to Jackson Memorial Elementary. Despite this difference, both schools demonstrate strong academic performance, with proficiency rates often exceeding state and district averages, particularly in mathematics and English reading.

While the two schools are generally high-performing, there may be opportunities for further improvement, especially in areas where their proficiency rates are below state or district averages. The consistent performance and stable rankings of these schools suggest that Carroll County Public Schools and Wythe County Public Schools are providing a solid educational foundation for students in the Austinville area.
