Summary:
The city of Oak Hall, Virginia is home to two public schools - Arcadia High School and Arcadia Middle School, both of which serve a diverse student population but struggle academically compared to other schools in Accomack County Public Schools.
Arcadia High School and Arcadia Middle School both have diverse student bodies, with significant populations of African American, Hispanic, and White students. However, both schools consistently rank in the bottom 30% of their respective school types in Virginia and receive low 1-2 star ratings from SchoolDigger, indicating significant academic challenges. The schools' test scores are generally below the Accomack County and Virginia state averages, particularly in subjects like VA and US History, Earth Science, 11th grade Writing, and 8th grade Mathematics and Science.
The high rates of free and reduced lunch at both schools, over 100% at Arcadia High, suggest that the majority of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Additionally, the per-student spending at both schools is lower than the state average, which may contribute to the academic struggles. Addressing the unique needs and challenges faced by these schools, including equity gaps and inadequate funding, will require targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for the students of Oak Hall.
