Summary:
The 24590 zip code area has only one school, Scottsville Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 227 students. The school's racial makeup is predominantly White (72.69%), with smaller percentages of African American (11.45%), Hispanic (7.93%), and students of two or more races (7.93%). Scottsville Elementary has shown inconsistent academic performance, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 771 out of 1,114 Virginia elementary schools in 2022-2023 (2-star rating) and 934 out of 1,109 in 2021-2022 (1-star rating).
Academically, Scottsville Elementary has had mixed results compared to the Albemarle County Public Schools district and the state of Virginia. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Reading, and VA Studies were lower than the district and state averages, while in 2022-2023, the school's performance was more varied, with some subjects exceeding the district and state, and others falling short. The school has a relatively high percentage of students (58.59%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
Despite the academic challenges, Scottsville Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.9, which is lower than the national average of around 16 students per teacher. This suggests the school may have an advantage in providing more individualized attention and support to its students. However, the school's inconsistent statewide ranking and the need to address the socioeconomic challenges of its student population indicate that further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve the school's overall performance and support the success of its students.
