Summary:
The Charles City County school district in Virginia consists of two schools: Charles City County Elementary and Charles City County High. Both schools are performing well below state averages across a range of metrics, indicating systemic challenges within the Charles City County Public Schools district.
The elementary school has 315 students, while the high school has 247 students. Both schools have a predominantly African American student population, with 41.9% at the elementary school and 52.23% at the high school. Test scores at both schools are significantly below state averages, with the elementary school ranking in the bottom 3% of Virginia elementary schools and the high school ranking in the bottom 2% of Virginia high schools. The schools have high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, at 87.62% for the elementary school and 86.64% for the high school.
Despite above-average per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratios, the schools continue to struggle. This suggests that the district faces systemic challenges that are negatively impacting student outcomes. Targeted strategies to boost test scores, increase college and career readiness, and support the unique needs of the district's student population should be a top priority for the Charles City County Public Schools.
