Summary:
The 24576 zip code area is home to a single high school, William Campbell High, which is part of the Campbell County Public Schools district. While the district is ranked 52 out of 130 in Virginia and has a 3-star rating, William Campbell High does not appear to be a standout school, with its statewide ranking declining over the past three years from 264th out of 325 Virginia high schools in 2021-2022 to 294th out of 329 in 2023-2024, and a current 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school's student population is predominantly White (60.2%), with a significant African American population (32.75%) and smaller percentages of other racial groups. Academically, the school's performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests is mixed, with some areas of strength, such as 100% proficiency in 8th grade Algebra I, and others of weakness, like only 41.18% proficiency in 9th grade Algebra I. The school's overall performance is generally below the district and state averages. Additionally, a high percentage (70.28%) of students at William Campbell High receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.3 to 1, which could be an asset, the combination of declining statewide rankings, mixed academic performance, and high poverty levels suggests that William Campbell High faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve the educational outcomes for the students at this school.
