Nottoway High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia high schools, with a ranking between 252 and 309 out of 325-329 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state standardized tests (SOL) is generally below the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Nottoway High's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the state averages in subjects like Geometry (17.65% vs. 36%), Algebra I (28.57% vs. 72.72%), and VA and US History (18.64% vs. 33.17%). The school's performance rankings for specific student subgroups, such as female students, African American students, and Hispanic students, are also in the bottom quarter of Virginia high schools.

Comparing Nottoway High to the nearby Amelia County High and Central High, it becomes evident that Nottoway High lags behind in academic performance. For instance, in the 2023-2024 school year, Amelia County High and Central High outperformed Nottoway High in subjects like Geometry, Algebra I, and Biology. This suggests that the challenges faced by Nottoway High may be unique to the school or the broader Nottoway County Public Schools district, rather than being a regional issue.

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.
