Best Public Schools in Zip Code 23301

Summary:

The 23301 zip code in Virginia is home to a single public elementary school, Accawmacke Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 396 students. While the school's student population is diverse, with a mix of White, African American, and Hispanic students, its academic performance has been declining in recent years, lagging behind the Accomack County Public Schools district and the state of Virginia averages.

Accawmacke Elementary's proficiency rates on state standardized tests range from 57.14% to 68.42% in mathematics, 58.73% to 63.16% in English reading, and 62.71% to 68.42% in other subjects. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 583 out of 1,109 Virginia elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 785 out of 1,114 in 2023-2024, indicating a concerning trend in academic performance. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, with over 106% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the academic challenges, Accawmacke Elementary appears to be allocating resources towards smaller class sizes, with a student-to-teacher ratio of 13.2, which is lower than the national average. This strategy may be an attempt to provide more individualized attention and support for the students. However, further investigation into the underlying factors and strategies employed by the school and the Accomack County Public Schools district could help identify opportunities for improvement and support to address the declining academic performance and the needs of the school's economically disadvantaged population.
