The school has consistently performed better than the district and state in subjects like Algebra I, Geometry, and English Reading, with 100% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in Geometry, compared to 96.66% at the state level. However, the school's performance in Mathematics is more mixed, with 6th-grade students outperforming the district and state, but 7th and 8th-grade students underperforming.

While Andrew G. Wright Middle generally outperforms the Stafford County Public Schools district, it lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Rodney E. Thompson Middle, which ranked 52nd out of 417 Virginia middle schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (35.02% in 2022-2023) may be contributing to the lower performance of its low socioeconomic status and disabled student subgroups, suggesting that addressing the unique needs of these populations could be an important focus area for the school and the district.

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.
