Gloucester County Public Schools


Summary:

The Gloucester County Public Schools district in Virginia consists of 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district serves a diverse student population, with a majority of White students and significant representation of African American and Hispanic students.

Among the standout schools in the district, Gloucester High School stands out for its large student population and strong performance on SOL tests, though its statewide ranking has declined in recent years. The two middle schools, Peasley Middle and Page Middle, are among the highest-ranked in the state, with exceptional proficiency rates in subjects like Algebra I and Geometry. At the elementary level, Botetourt Elementary excels in Mathematics, with 96.43% of 3rd graders proficient or better, significantly exceeding the district and state averages.

However, the district also shows some variability in performance, with schools like Bethel Elementary, Page Middle, and Abingdon Elementary struggling in certain subject areas. This variability is likely linked to the significant socioeconomic disparities within the district, as evidenced by the wide range in free and reduced lunch rates, which may be impacting student achievement.
