Best Public Schools in Check, VA

Summary:

The city of Check, Virginia has only one school, Check Elementary, which serves students from the surrounding area. As part of the Floyd County Public Schools district, Check Elementary has faced declining performance in recent years, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and test scores that consistently fall below the district and state averages.

With a student population that is predominantly White (92.12%) and a high percentage (75%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Check Elementary appears to serve a predominantly low-income community. The school's spending per student of $7,981 is also lower than the state average, which may contribute to the challenges the school faces in providing quality education to its students.

Overall, the data suggests that Check Elementary is a struggling school within the Floyd County Public Schools district, with declining performance, lower-than-average test scores, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The school's low ranking and underperformance compared to the district and state averages warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
