Lee County Public Schools

The Lee County Public Schools district in Virginia consists of 10 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 2 high schools, serving a predominantly white student population with high rates of economic disadvantage.

Among the standout schools in the district, Jonesville Middle School ranks 123 out of 417 middle schools in Virginia and is rated 4 out of 5 stars, with exceptional performance in mathematics. St. Charles Elementary is a small school that ranks 127 out of 1,114 elementary schools in the state and is also rated 4 stars, with particularly high achievement in mathematics. Elydale Middle School stands out for its strong performance in English reading, with 86.05% of 7th graders proficient or better, compared to the state average of 71.34%.

The district as a whole has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 83.44% to 101.44%, suggesting a significant economically disadvantaged population. However, the schools generally perform above the state averages in mathematics and English reading, with some grade levels and subjects demonstrating exceptional results. The variation in school performance, as evidenced by the range of SchoolDigger ratings and state rankings, indicates that there may be opportunities for the district to learn from its top-performing schools and apply best practices across the system.
