High Schools in Culpeper County Public Schools

The Culpeper County Public Schools district in Virginia is home to two high schools, Eastern View High and Culpeper County High, which serve students in grades 9-12. While the schools have some differences in their student demographics and performance metrics, they generally perform at a similar level within the district.

Both high schools have diverse student populations, with Eastern View High having a slightly more diverse student body, with 45.64% White, 15.15% African American, and 29.33% Hispanic students, compared to Culpeper County High, which has 50.04% White, 10.38% African American, and 31.32% Hispanic students. In terms of academic performance, the schools generally perform below the state average on SOL (Standards of Learning) assessments, but each has some subject areas where they outperform the district and state, such as Algebra II and Biology at Eastern View High, and Geometry and Algebra I at Culpeper County High.

The differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios between the two schools may contribute to the variations in subject-specific proficiency rates, with Culpeper County High spending $2,000 more per student and having a slightly lower student-teacher ratio of 16.4 compared to 17.3 at Eastern View High. Overall, both schools have room for improvement, and identifying and addressing the root causes of their performance gaps could be a focus for the Culpeper County Public Schools district.
