Midlothian High

Summary:

Midlothian High is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Midlothian, Virginia, with a student population of 2,041. The school is part of the Chesterfield County Public Schools district, which is ranked 82 out of 130 school districts in Virginia.

Midlothian High consistently outperforms the district and state in academic performance, with particularly strong results in Algebra II, where 100% of 10th and 9th-grade students were proficient or better, compared to 54.05% and 92.7% for the district and state, respectively. The school's performance is also noteworthy for Hispanic students, who ranked 30th out of 233 Virginia high schools in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's performance for low socioeconomic status and disabled students is relatively lower, ranking 160th and 122nd, respectively, out of Virginia high schools in 2023-2024.

Compared to nearby schools in the Chesterfield County Public Schools district, such as Cosby High and Clover Hill High, Midlothian High's academic performance is generally stronger. However, when compared to schools outside the district, such as the magnet schools in the Henrico County Public Schools district, like Mills E. Godwin High and Douglas S. Freeman High, Midlothian High's performance is not as strong. This suggests that Midlothian High faces competition from high-performing schools outside its own district.

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.
