Summary:

Culpeper County High is a public high school in Culpeper, Virginia, serving 1,223 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Culpeper County Public Schools district, which is ranked 94 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Culpeper County High has a relatively diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 50.04% White, 10.38% African American, 31.32% Hispanic, 1.47% Asian, and 6.3% two or more races. This diversity is higher compared to some nearby schools, such as Eastern View High (45.64% White) and Madison County High (80.61% White). However, the school's racial diversity has been declining in recent years, with the percentage of White students increasing from 50.04% in 2022-2023 to 58.22% in 2020-2021.

Academically, Culpeper County High's performance is mixed compared to state and district averages. While the school performs well in some subjects, such as Algebra I and Algebra II, it struggles in others, like Geometry and Biology. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 27.12% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in Geometry, compared to the state average of 36% and the district average of 23.17%. When compared to nearby high schools, such as Fauquier High, Culpeper County High's performance is generally lower. This suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and learn from the practices of higher-performing schools in the region to address its academic 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.
