Broadway High

Summary:

Broadway High is a public high school located in Broadway, Virginia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 923 students. The school is part of the Rockingham County Public Schools district, which is ranked 90 out of 130 districts in Virginia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Broadway High has several key strengths, including a significantly higher percentage of white students (79.41%) compared to surrounding schools, consistently outperforming the Rockingham County Public Schools district and the state of Virginia in various SOL (Standards of Learning) test subjects, and exceptional performance among its Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students. However, the school's statewide ranking has been declining over the years, from a high of 84 out of 327 Virginia high schools in 2018-2019 to 137 out of 329 in 2023-2024, suggesting it may be facing challenges in maintaining its competitive edge. Additionally, Broadway High's female students perform significantly worse than their male counterparts, ranking 169 out of 322 Virginia high schools for the 2023-2024 school year, compared to 112 for male students.

While Broadway High outperforms the Rockingham County Public Schools district and the state of Virginia in many areas, it is not the top-performing school in the immediate vicinity. Both Turner Ashby High and Spotswood High, which are also part of the Rockingham County Public Schools district, have higher statewide rankings and, in some cases, better test scores than Broadway High. Additionally, the relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at Broadway High (41.93%) suggests that the school may be facing socioeconomic challenges that could impact student performance.

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.
