Summary:
The 22551 zip code area in Virginia is home to 3 public schools serving grades K-12: Spotsylvania High, Thornburg Middle, and Livingston Elementary, all part of the Spotsylvania County Public Schools district. While the schools show a mix of strengths and weaknesses, they face common challenges such as high rates of economic disadvantage among their student populations.
Spotsylvania High stands out with strong performance on several SOL tests, including 100% proficiency in Algebra II and high scores in English Reading, Geography, and Algebra I. However, its overall ranking of 212 out of 329 Virginia high schools and 2-star rating suggest room for improvement across the board. In contrast, Thornburg Middle struggles in Mathematics, with proficiency rates below 50% in 6th-8th grade, despite impressive 100% proficiency rates in Geometry and Algebra I.
All three schools have high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 64.37% at Livingston Elementary to 65.85% at Spotsylvania High, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage in the area. Spending per student also varies, with Livingston Elementary spending the most at $9,544 per student, followed by Thornburg Middle at $7,498 and Spotsylvania High at $7,271. The low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 14.8 at Thornburg Middle to 16.1 at Livingston Elementary, suggest the potential for more individualized attention, but the data does not indicate whether this is being effectively leveraged.
