Summary:
The city of Buckingham, Virginia is home to two public schools: Buckingham County High School and Buckingham County Middle School, both part of the Buckingham County Public Schools district. While the high school has relatively high proficiency rates in Algebra I and Biology, it underperforms the state average in English Reading and World History I. The middle school stands out for its impressive Algebra I proficiency for 8th graders, but lags behind in other subjects like Mathematics, English Reading, and Civics and Economics.
Both schools serve a student population with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch, at over 92% for each school. This suggests a need for additional resources and support to address potential socioeconomic challenges faced by the students. Spending per student also varies, with the high school spending $10,442 per student and the middle school spending $7,817 per student in the 2020-2021 school year. The difference in funding may impact the resources and opportunities available to students at each level.
Overall, the Buckingham County schools face some challenges, with both the high school and middle school ranking relatively low statewide. Targeted interventions and curriculum adjustments may be necessary to improve student outcomes across all subject areas and ensure that all students in the district have access to a high-quality education.
