Chickahominy Middle

Summary:

Chickahominy Middle is a highly-ranked public middle school located in Mechanicsville, Virginia, serving grades 6-8 with an enrollment of 1,131 students. As part of the Hanover County Public Schools district, which is ranked 21 out of 130 districts in Virginia, Chickahominy Middle consistently performs among the top middle schools in the state.

Chickahominy Middle's academic performance is exceptional, with a statewide ranking between 8-33 over the past 10 years and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period. Students demonstrate very high proficiency rates on Virginia SOL assessments, with 100% proficiency in Geometry, Algebra I, and Mathematics for 6th-8th grades in 2023-2024, significantly outperforming state and district averages. However, the school's student population is relatively homogeneous, with a majority White (77.98%) and a lower percentage of other racial/ethnic groups compared to some nearby schools, such as Dogwood Middle and Martin Luther King Junior Middle in the Richmond City Public Schools district.

Chickahominy Middle's exceptional performance may be attributed to its higher spending per student ($8,615 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, as well as its relatively low percentage of students (18.21%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a lower proportion of students from low-income families. While the school consistently delivers outstanding academic outcomes, it should continue to monitor and address any achievement gaps among its diverse student population to ensure equitable opportunities for all learners.

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.
