Chancellor Middle has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (34.43%) and African American (17.56%) students.

Chancellor Middle's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, ranking 229 out of 299 Virginia middle schools for African American students and 207 out of 272 for Hispanic students in Mathematics.

Despite these challenges, Chancellor Middle has shown strengths in Algebra I and Geometry, with 100% of students proficient or better in these subjects in 2023-2024. However, the school's statewide ranking has been steadily declining, from 251 out of 419 Virginia middle schools in 2020-2021 to 310 out of 417 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Nearby schools like Ni River Middle and Freedom Middle have demonstrated stronger academic performance, particularly in Mathematics and English Reading, which could serve as models for improvement strategies at Chancellor Middle.

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.

Open Quote There is a complete lack of communication from the Administration. Bullying and lack of discipline is unbelievable. The Vice Principal is fantastic but the Principal and New County Supervisor, oh my goodness, atrocious. She exudes complete arrogance and has little to no care for the students. The "Chancellor Chatter" newsletter looks like it has been using the same template for 15 years. I have seen a high turnover among teachers and some outright won't respond to you. Close Quote

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.
