Culpeper Middle

Summary:

Culpeper Middle is a public middle school in Culpeper, Virginia, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,066 students. The school is part of the Culpeper County Public Schools district, which is ranked 94 out of 130 districts in Virginia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Culpeper Middle has a diverse student population, with 47.28% White, 12.57% African American, 30.21% Hispanic, 1.22% Asian, and 8.44% two or more races. However, the school's overall ranking has declined over the years, dropping from 158 out of 409 Virginia middle schools in 2015-2016 to 296 out of 417 in the 2023-2024 school year. It is currently rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school's rankings for different student subgroups vary, with African American and Hispanic students ranking lower than White and multi-racial students. Culpeper Middle's test scores are generally below the state and district averages, particularly in Mathematics and English Reading, though the school performs better in Algebra I and Geometry.

Compared to nearby schools like Floyd T. Binns Middle and Prospect Heights Middle, Culpeper Middle's performance is generally lower, with higher rankings and better test scores in most subject areas. The school's diverse student population and achievement gaps among different subgroups suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of these students. While Culpeper Middle's performance in Algebra I and Geometry is a bright spot, the school needs to find ways to replicate this success in other subject areas.

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.
