Best Public Schools in North Garden, VA

Summary:

The city of North Garden, Virginia has only one school in the data set, Red Hill Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Albemarle County Public Schools district. Red Hill Elementary is struggling academically, with proficiency rates on state standardized tests that lag behind the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels.

The school's academic performance has been declining over the past three school years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 991 out of 1,109 Virginia elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 874 out of 1,114 in 2023-2024. This trend suggests that the school is not keeping pace with other schools in the state. Additionally, Red Hill Elementary serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 68.16% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges.

Despite the school's lower academic performance, Red Hill Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.4 and higher per-student spending of $14,030 compared to the district and state averages. However, these resources do not appear to be effectively addressing the academic needs of the students, as the school's proficiency rates remain below the district and state levels.
