Summary:
The 22601 zip code area in Winchester, Virginia is home to 8 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school, all part of the Winchester City Public Schools district. While the district as a whole is ranked 103 out of 130 in Virginia and has a 1-star rating, some standout schools in the area are Frederick Douglass Elementary, which has the highest performance on state assessments among the elementary schools, and Daniel Morgan Middle, which has the highest performance among the middle schools and ranks 279 out of 417 Virginia middle schools.
The schools in this area have a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic and African American representation. However, all of the schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.68% to 81.85%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The spending per student also varies across the schools, from $8,198 at James Wood Middle to $12,144 at Garland R. Quarles Elementary.
While some schools, like Frederick Douglass Elementary and Daniel Morgan Middle, are performing relatively well on state assessments, others, such as John Kerr Elementary and Virginia Avenue Charlotte Dehart Elementary, are struggling, with proficiency rates well below the state averages. This suggests a need for the Winchester City Public Schools district to address the disparities and ensure more equitable outcomes across all schools.
