Buckingham County Public Schools


Summary:

The Buckingham County Public Schools district in Virginia consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. While the district's high school and middle school demonstrate some areas of strong academic performance, the elementary schools appear to struggle, with lower test scores compared to district and state averages.

Buckingham County High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, with students exceeding the district and state averages in several subject areas, including Algebra I, Geometry, and Biology. The school also maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13:1. In contrast, Buckingham County Middle School excels in Algebra I and English Reading, with high proficiency rates across grades 6-8.

The consistently high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 92.05% to 93.24% across all schools, suggest that the Buckingham County Public Schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. This raises concerns about equity within the district, as the significant disparities in test scores and school rankings between the high school/middle school and the elementary schools may indicate that certain grade levels or schools are not receiving the same level of resources or support.
