Summary:
The 20164 zip code area of Sterling, Virginia is home to 12 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Loudoun County Public Schools district. While the district is highly ranked, the schools in this area show a wide range of academic performance, with some standouts like Dominion High and Seneca Ridge Middle outperforming the district and state averages, and others like Park View High struggling significantly.
The data reveals a strong correlation between socioeconomic factors and academic performance, with schools serving higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students generally underperforming. For example, Park View High has an exceptionally high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients at 89.76% and ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in the state. In contrast, Seneca Ridge Middle, with a lower free/reduced lunch rate of 45.9%, outperforms the district and state averages in several subject areas.
The data also suggests that adequate resource allocation, as measured by per-student spending and student-teacher ratios, is a key factor in student success. The higher-spending schools, like Dominion High at $16,324 per student, tend to have better academic outcomes. Overall, the schools in the 20164 zip code area face significant challenges, but the data provides insights into how targeted interventions and equitable resource distribution could help improve educational outcomes for all students in the region.
