Edward W. Wyatt Middle

Summary:

Edward W. Wyatt Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Emporia, Virginia, part of the Greensville County Public Schools district. With a student population of 449, the school has a predominantly African American student body (72.61% in 2022-2023) and faces significant challenges in academic performance.

Edward W. Wyatt Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Virginia middle schools, with proficiency rates on state assessments (SOL tests) generally below the state average. However, the school performs relatively well for certain subgroups, such as Hispanic students and students with disabilities, ranking in the top half or third of Virginia middle schools for these populations. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, over 100% in recent years, indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which can be a significant factor in academic performance.

Interestingly, the nearby James S. Russell Middle School, part of the Brunswick County Public Schools district, has a similar racial demographic makeup and academic performance profile to Edward W. Wyatt Middle, suggesting that the challenges faced by the school may be reflective of broader regional or district-level factors, rather than being unique to the school itself.

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.
