Summary:
The 24228 zip code area is home to 3 public schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Dickenson County Public Schools district. While the student populations are predominantly white, these schools demonstrate strong academic performance, often outpacing district and state averages in key subject areas.
Clintwood Elementary stands out as a top-performing school, ranking 236 out of 1,114 Virginia elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating. The school boasts impressive proficiency rates in Mathematics (up to 94.34% in 3rd grade) and English Reading (up to 91.49% in 4th grade). Similarly, Ridgeview High ranks 121 out of 329 Virginia high schools, with 100% proficiency in Geometry and 90.91% in Algebra I for 10th grade.
Despite the academic excellence, the schools in the 24228 zip code face challenges related to socioeconomic factors, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (88.68% to 90.12%). Additionally, the lack of racial/ethnic diversity in these schools may limit the exposure and experiences of students. The funding disparities, with Ridgeview High spending significantly more per student than the other schools, also raise questions about equitable resource allocation and its potential impact on educational outcomes across the district.
