Summary:
The 24092 zip code area has only one school, Glade Hill Elementary, a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 205 students. The school's racial makeup is predominantly White (79.02%), with smaller percentages of African American (7.32%), Hispanic (8.29%), and other racial groups. Glade Hill Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 405th out of 1,109 Virginia elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 531st out of 1,114 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Glade Hill Elementary's performance is mixed, with math and reading proficiency rates generally on par with or slightly above the state averages, but its 5th-grade science proficiency rate is below the state average. The school has a relatively high percentage of students (75.12%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged population. However, Glade Hill Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students.
Overall, the data suggests that Franklin County Public Schools may need to focus on improving Glade Hill Elementary's academic performance, particularly in science, and addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population. The school's declining statewide ranking is also a concern that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure the best possible educational outcomes for the students in this community.
