Best Public Schools in McGaheysville, VA

Summary:

The city of McGaheysville, Virginia is home to a single elementary school, McGaheysville Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school is part of the Rockingham County Public Schools district.

While McGaheysville Elementary's mathematics and science proficiency rates are generally higher than the district average, its reading proficiency rates are more mixed, with 4th grade students performing worse than the district average. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 621 out of 1,109 Virginia elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 851 out of 1,114 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 2 stars out of 5 to 1 star out of 5 during this time period. This suggests that the school's academic performance may be declining relative to other Virginia elementary schools.

Additionally, the relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (44.76%) at McGaheysville Elementary may indicate that the school serves a population with lower socioeconomic status, which could impact academic performance. The school's lower-than-state-average proficiency rates in mathematics and reading, particularly in the upper elementary grades, suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement in these subject areas.
