Summary:
The city of Shawsville, Virginia has just one middle school, Shawsville Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. Based on the available data, Shawsville Middle School appears to be an underperforming school, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of Virginia middle schools and earning a low 1-out-of-5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
Shawsville Middle School faces significant challenges, with 74.52% of its 208 students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of socioeconomic disadvantage. The school's test scores are generally below the Montgomery County and Virginia state averages across various subject areas and grade levels, with the exception of a 100% proficiency rate in Algebra I among 8th graders. However, the school struggles in mathematics and reading, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages.
While the school's low student-teacher ratio of 8.1 to 1 suggests the potential for more individualized attention and support, this has not yet translated into improved academic performance. To address these challenges, Shawsville Middle School may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes and better serve the community.
