Best Public Schools in Zip Code 23847

Summary:

The 23847 zip code area is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Greensville Elementary, Greensville County High, and Edward W. Wyatt Middle. While Greensville County Public Schools district as a whole is ranked 99 out of 130 in Virginia and rated 1 star out of 5, some of the individual schools in this area show promising performance in specific subject areas.

Greensville Elementary stands out, performing above the district and state averages in Mathematics and English Reading, despite having a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Greensville County High excels in Algebra I, Algebra II, and Biology, but struggles in World History I. Meanwhile, Edward W. Wyatt Middle has a similar racial composition to the other schools, with a majority African American student population.

Across all three schools, the student population faces significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the extremely high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 100.49% to 103.36%. This high-need student population likely contributes to the overall low performance of the schools and the district, highlighting the importance of targeted support and resources to address the unique needs of these students.
