Millbrook High

Summary:

Millbrook High is a public high school located in Winchester, Virginia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,516 students. The school is part of the Frederick County Public Schools district, which is ranked 102 out of 130 districts in Virginia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Millbrook High has a relatively diverse student population, with 50.66% White, 37.27% Hispanic, 5.01% African American, and 2.57% Asian students. This diversity is higher compared to some nearby schools, such as Sherando High (66.15% White) and James Wood High (79.47% White). However, the school's academic performance, as measured by SOL (Standards of Learning) test scores, is mixed compared to the state and district averages. While the school performs well in some subjects, it struggles in others, like Writing, English Reading, and World History. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian and African American students generally outperforming their Hispanic and White counterparts.

Millbrook High's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from a high of 91st out of 321 Virginia high schools in 2015-2016 (4 stars) to 256th out of 329 in 2023-2024 (1 star). This suggests that the school's performance has been declining relative to other high schools in the state. The school also has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-lunch recipients (43.27% in 2022-2023), which is often associated with lower academic achievement. To address these challenges, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions, review their curriculum and instructional practices, and provide additional support and resources to students who are struggling.

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.
