Best Public Schools in King and Queen Court House, VA


Summary:

The city of King and Queen Court House, Virginia, is home to a single public high school, Central High, which serves grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 273 students. While the school has a diverse student population, it faces significant challenges, including declining academic performance, high rates of economic disadvantage, and potential areas for improvement in curriculum and instruction.

King and Queen County Public Schools district, of which Central High is a part, has seen the school's statewide ranking steadily decline over the past three school years, from 214th out of 325 Virginia high schools in 2021-2022 to 298th out of 329 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school's performance is not keeping pace with other high schools in the state, with low proficiency rates in subjects like Mathematics and World History indicating opportunities for improvement in these areas.

The high percentage of students (104.76%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Central High points to significant economic challenges faced by the student population, which research has shown can be a strong predictor of educational outcomes. Despite these challenges, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9:1, which is generally considered a positive indicator for student learning and support. Addressing the school's declining performance and socioeconomic challenges will be crucial for Central High to better serve the community of King and Queen Court House.
