Albemarle County Public Schools

Summary:

The Albemarle County Public Schools district in Virginia encompasses 24 schools, including 15 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, and 4 high schools, serving a diverse student population across the region. The district features a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with significant disparities in academic outcomes that appear to be linked to socioeconomic factors.

Among the standout schools in the district are Western Albemarle High School, which consistently ranks among the top in the state, and Joseph T. Henley Middle School, another top performer. At the elementary level, Hollymead Elementary and Virginia L. Murray Elementary are among the highest-performing schools in the state. These top-tier schools benefit from strong leadership, ample resources, and a focus on academic excellence.

However, the data also reveals stark performance gaps between the highest and lowest performing schools in the district. Schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Mary Carr Greer Elementary and Woodbrook Elementary, struggle to reach proficiency levels above 50% in many subject areas. Addressing these socioeconomic inequities and replicating the success factors of the top-performing schools could be key priorities for the Albemarle County Public Schools district moving forward.
