Summary:
The 24012 zip code area of Roanoke, Virginia is home to 5 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 1 middle school, all part of the Roanoke City Public Schools district. While Round Hill Elementary and Breckinridge Middle stand out for their academic performance, the schools in this area generally struggle, with most students performing well below state averages in core subjects like Math and Reading.
Breckinridge Middle has relatively strong performance in advanced math courses, with 100% proficiency rates in 8th grade Geometry and Algebra I. However, the school struggles in more general math and science subjects. In contrast, Monterey Elementary has the highest overall academic performance among the elementary schools, with proficiency rates at or above the district averages in most subjects. The schools in this area serve predominantly minority and low-income student populations, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from around 99% to over 103%.
The stark performance gaps between the schools and the district/state averages, as well as the racial and socioeconomic disparities, suggest that factors like poverty, resource availability, and community support may be playing a significant role in the academic outcomes of these schools. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to understand the root causes and implement effective strategies to support the students and communities served by these schools.
