Best Public Schools in Halifax, VA


Summary:

The city of Halifax, Virginia has a single elementary school, Sinai Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Halifax County Public Schools district. The district is ranked 86 out of 130 in Virginia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sinai Elementary has a total enrollment of 220 students, with a predominantly African American student population (73.64%). The school's performance is mixed compared to district and state averages. While Sinai Elementary excels in 3rd-grade math and reading, it struggles in several other grade-level assessments, particularly in 4th-grade math, reading, and Virginia Studies. The school's high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients (92.73%) suggests a socioeconomically disadvantaged student population, which may contribute to the school's performance challenges.

Despite Sinai Elementary's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.2, the school's consistent low ranking (778th out of 1,114 Virginia elementary schools in 2023-2024) and 2-star rating from SchoolDigger indicate that the school is performing below average compared to other elementary schools in the state. Further investigation into the factors contributing to the school's mixed academic performance could provide valuable insights to support improvement efforts.
