Magna Vista High

Summary:

Magna Vista High is a public high school located in Ridgeway, Virginia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,104 students. The school is part of the Henry County Public Schools district, which is ranked 87 out of 130 districts in Virginia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Magna Vista High has a more diverse student population compared to nearby Bassett High and Martinsville High, with a student body that is 51.27% White, 27.99% African American, 13.41% Hispanic, and 6.34% two or more races. However, the school's performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests varies across different subjects and grade levels, with stronger performance in Algebra I and Geometry but lower proficiency rates in World History II and VA and US History compared to state and district averages. Additionally, Magna Vista High's performance on SOL tests varies significantly among different student subgroups, with relatively strong performance for English Language Learner students but struggles with Low Socio-Economic Status and Disabled students.

Magna Vista High's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, from 153rd out of 325 Virginia high schools in 2021-2022 to 301st out of 329 in 2023-2024, placing the school in the bottom half of Virginia high schools with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests that the school is struggling to keep pace with other high schools in the state, and the significant disparities in subgroup performance indicate that the school may need to focus on addressing the unique needs of these student populations to improve overall academic outcomes.

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.
