Summary:
The Dinwiddie County Public Schools district in Virginia serves four schools: two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. The district faces systemic challenges, with its schools consistently performing below state averages on standardized tests and the district ranked 92 out of 130 districts in Virginia. However, some individual schools, like Dinwiddie Elementary, show pockets of stronger academic achievement.
The district's schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with all schools having high percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 75.53% at Southside Elementary to 86.98% at Dinwiddie Elementary. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address equity issues. The racial diversity of the schools varies, with Dinwiddie Elementary having a higher percentage of white students (63.02%) compared to the other schools.
Among the standout schools, Dinwiddie County High School has relatively high test scores in Algebra I, Biology, and English Reading, but its overall statewide ranking is in the bottom half of Virginia high schools. Dinwiddie Elementary School outperforms the district and state averages in Mathematics and English Reading for grades 3-5, potentially due to its lower student-teacher ratio of 12:1. However, the school's Science and VA Studies scores lag behind the district and state.
