Summary:
The Southampton County Public Schools district in Virginia is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools serve a predominantly low-income population, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch across the district.
Among the standout schools, Nottoway Elementary ranks the highest in the district, placing 287th out of 1,114 Virginia elementary schools. It also earned a 4-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger and consistently outperforms the district and state averages in most subject areas, particularly in Mathematics and Science. Capron Elementary is another high-performing school, ranking 475th statewide and excelling in Mathematics with over 90% of 4th and 5th graders scoring proficient or better.
In contrast, Meherrin Elementary struggles the most, with lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state in several subject areas. However, Meherrin has the highest spending per student and the lowest student-teacher ratio, suggesting that targeted interventions could help improve student outcomes across the district. Overall, the data indicates that while some schools in the Southampton County Public Schools district are performing well, there is room for improvement, particularly in addressing the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population.
