Summary:
Mathews County Public Schools in Virginia is home to a single high school, Mathews High, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, dropping from a 3-star rating to a 1-star rating, indicating some academic challenges.
Mathews High has a predominantly white student population, with over 80% of students identifying as such. The school performs well above the state average in certain subject areas, such as 11th-grade writing and English reading, but struggles in others, like Algebra I and 10th-grade Biology. With a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school may be facing socioeconomic challenges that could impact academic performance. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.1 to 1 suggests potential opportunities for more personalized instruction and support.
While Mathews High's declining statewide ranking is a concerning trend, the school's strengths in certain subject areas and its low student-teacher ratio indicate that there may be opportunities for improvement. By focusing on addressing the weaker academic areas and leveraging the school's existing strengths, Mathews County Public Schools may be able to help Mathews High regain its academic footing and better serve the needs of its students.
