Summary:

William Campbell High is a public high school located in Naruna, Virginia, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 397 students. The school is part of the Campbell County Public Schools district, which is ranked 52 out of 130 school districts in Virginia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

William Campbell High faces several challenges, including a declining statewide ranking, lower test scores compared to the district and state, and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's student population is more diverse than nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American students (32.75%) and a lower percentage of White students (60.2%). However, the school's performance on various assessments varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school's ranking for female students (314th out of 322) much lower than the ranking for male students (277th out of 322). Compared to nearby Altavista High and Rustburg High, William Campbell High consistently ranks in the bottom half of Virginia high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

The school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across various subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Algebra I for 9th grade (41.18%) and World History I for 9th grade (50%) are significantly lower than the Campbell County Public Schools (85.08% and 78.29%) and state (81.99% and 68.25%) averages. Additionally, William Campbell High spends more per student ($9,183 in 2020-2021) compared to the nearby Altavista High ($7,032) and Rustburg High ($6,754), suggesting the need for more targeted interventions and support to address the school's performance challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
