Summary:
The 22603 zip code area in Virginia is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, all part of the Frederick County Public Schools district. While the district as a whole is ranked 102 out of 130 in Virginia and has a 1-star rating, some schools in the area stand out.
Indian Hollow Elementary is a standout, with the highest performance on state assessments across multiple grade levels and subjects compared to the other elementary schools. For example, 78.43% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in math, significantly higher than the district and state averages. In contrast, Gainesboro Elementary had only 36.05% proficiency in 5th-grade math. The data suggests a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, as schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch generally have lower test scores.
At the high school level, James Wood High outperforms Millbrook High on many state assessments, despite both schools being part of the same district. This highlights the significant disparities in academic performance that can exist even within a single school district. Overall, the schools in the 22603 zip code area face challenges, with most ranked in the bottom half of their respective categories in Virginia and having low ratings from SchoolDigger, underscoring the need for targeted interventions to address these performance gaps.
