Surry County Public Schools


Summary:

The Surry County Public Schools district in Virginia operates three schools: Surry Elementary, Surry County High, and Luther P. Jackson Middle. The district serves students from elementary through high school, providing education in a rural Virginia community.

Among the standout schools, Surry County High has shown improvement in recent years, moving up to a 4-star rating in 2022-2023 after previously being ranked 221 out of 329 Virginia high schools. The school excels in Algebra I and English Reading, with proficiency rates of 89.47% and 80%, respectively. Luther P.

Across the district, there are some equity concerns, as all three schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 86.07% to 87.08%. Additionally, there is a significant difference in spending per student, with Surry County High spending $18,879 per student, compared to $11,885 per student at Surry Elementary. This suggests the need for a closer examination of resource allocation within the district to ensure equitable access to educational opportunities for all students.
