Best Public Schools in Zip Code 24361

Summary:

The 24361 zip code area is home to two strong-performing elementary schools, Meadowview Elementary and Rhea Valley Elementary, both part of the highly-ranked Washington County Public Schools district. These schools demonstrate impressive academic achievements, with proficiency rates exceeding state averages in key subjects like Mathematics and English Reading.

Meadowview Elementary stands out for its exceptional 3rd grade Mathematics and English Reading scores, with proficiency rates of 79.55% and 77.27% respectively, well above the state averages. Rhea Valley Elementary also excels, with over 80% of 5th graders proficient in Mathematics and Science. Both schools serve predominantly white student populations, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a need to address economic disparities and ensure equitable access to resources.

While the schools have fluctuated in their SchoolDigger rankings in recent years, they remain strong performers overall. The per-student spending difference of $800 between the two schools may contribute to the slight performance variations observed. As the district continues to support these schools, addressing the lack of diversity and providing targeted assistance to economically disadvantaged students could further enhance the educational experience for all learners in the 24361 zip code area.
