Summary:
The 24528 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Brookneal Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 411 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a mix of racial backgrounds, and a high percentage (73.97%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income community.
Academically, Brookneal Elementary has shown improvement in its statewide ranking over the past few years, moving from 662nd out of 1,109 Virginia elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 480th out of 1,114 in 2022-2023. The school's math and science proficiency rates are generally higher than the state averages, suggesting strong performance in these subject areas. However, the school's reading proficiency, particularly in 3rd grade, is an area that could benefit from further attention and improvement.
Despite the challenges of serving a predominantly low-income student population, Brookneal Elementary's performance is generally on par with or exceeds the Campbell County Public Schools district and the state of Virginia. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.1 and its diverse student population are positive indicators, but the need to address reading proficiency and the socioeconomic challenges faced by the community present ongoing areas for improvement.
