Best Public Schools in Zip Code 23936

Summary:

The 23936 zip code area in Virginia is home to two elementary schools, Buckingham County Elementary and Buckingham County Primary, both of which appear to be struggling academically compared to other Virginia elementary schools. The student populations at these schools are predominantly White and African American, with high rates of economic disadvantage as indicated by the high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients.

Neither school stands out as a high-performing institution, with both Buckingham County Elementary and Buckingham County Primary ranking in the bottom 15% of Virginia elementary schools on the statewide SchoolDigger rankings. The schools' SOL test scores are also consistently below the state averages in most subject areas, suggesting a persistent challenge in providing quality education to students in this area.

While Buckingham County Primary spends more per student than Buckingham County Elementary, this does not appear to translate into better academic outcomes, indicating that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving school performance. The data highlights the need for additional resources and support to address the unique needs of the economically disadvantaged student populations in this Buckingham County Public Schools district.
