Summary:
The 24631 zip code area is home to a single school, Twin Valley Elementary/Middle, which serves grades PK-7 and is part of the Buchanan County Public Schools district. Despite serving a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, Twin Valley Elementary/Middle consistently outperforms the district and state averages in core academic areas, including mathematics, reading, science, and Virginia studies.
The school's student population is largely homogeneous, with over 96% of students identifying as white. While this lack of diversity may be an area for the school or district to address, Twin Valley Elementary/Middle has made significant progress in recent years, improving its statewide ranking from 659th out of 1,109 Virginia elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 375th out of 1,114 in 2023-2024. This consistent improvement suggests that the school is implementing effective strategies to support student learning and achievement.
Despite the school's strong academic performance, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, coupled with the relatively low spending per student, indicates that Twin Valley Elementary/Middle may be operating with limited resources. Further analysis of the school's resource allocation and plans for continued improvement could provide valuable insights for the district and the broader education community in supporting schools that serve economically disadvantaged populations.
