Best Public Schools in Zip Code 24634

Summary:

The 24634 zip code area is home to a single public high school, Twin Valley High, which serves grades 8-12. With a predominantly white student population and high poverty rates, the school has shown mixed academic performance compared to the Buchanan County Public Schools district and the state of Virginia.

Twin Valley High has a 1-star rating out of 5 from School Digger, ranking 248th out of 329 Virginia high schools for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's performance on various SOL assessments is variable, with higher proficiency rates than the district and state in some subjects, such as 11th-grade writing, but lower rates in others, like 8th-grade Mathematics. The school's student-teacher ratio is 11.2 to 1, and its spending per student was $7,308 in the 2020-2021 school year.

The high percentage of white students (97.42%) and the nearly universal eligibility for free or reduced-price lunch (97.42%) at Twin Valley High suggest areas for further investigation. The school's declining statewide ranking over the past three years also warrants closer examination to identify the factors contributing to this trend and ways to support the educational outcomes of its students.
