Mecklenburg County High

Summary:

Mecklenburg County High is a public high school located in Baskerville, Virginia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,163 students. The school is part of the Mecklenburg County Public Schools district, which is ranked 50 out of 130 districts in Virginia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mecklenburg County High outperforms the district and the state of Virginia in several subject areas, including 12th grade SOL Writing, 9th grade SOL Geometry, 10th grade SOL Algebra I, 12th grade SOL Biology, and 9th grade SOL Earth Science. However, the school underperforms the state in some areas, such as 10th grade SOL Writing and 11th grade SOL VA and US History. The school performs exceptionally well for its Hispanic student population, ranking 10th out of 233 Virginia high schools for this subgroup, and also performs well for its African American and multi-racial student populations. Unfortunately, the school's performance for its disabled student population is relatively low, ranking 163rd out of 253 Virginia high schools.

The high percentage of students (88.31%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Mecklenburg County High indicates a relatively low socioeconomic status of the student population, which may contribute to some of the academic challenges the school faces. Investigating the school's best practices and targeted interventions could help address these areas of concern and support the continued academic growth of all students.

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.

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
