Summary:
The 23838 zip code is home to a single public high school, Matoaca High, which serves grades 9-12 with a diverse student population of 1,630 students. While the school's academic performance varies across subject areas, with some strengths and weaknesses compared to Chesterfield County and Virginia state averages, it faces challenges related to socioeconomic factors, with 39.2% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Matoaca High's student body is racially diverse, with a relatively even split between White and African American students, as well as smaller percentages of other racial and ethnic groups. This diversity could present both opportunities and challenges in meeting the unique needs of the student population. The school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with some subject areas showing stronger proficiency rates than others, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to address areas of academic weakness.
The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 267 out of 325 Virginia high schools in 2021-2022 to 259 out of 329 in 2023-2024, indicating the need for a closer examination of the school's overall performance and the implementation of strategies to improve its standing. Additionally, the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may contribute to the school's academic challenges and require additional resources and support to address the needs of this population.
