Summary:
The Buckingham County Public Schools district in Virginia is home to two elementary schools: Buckingham County Elementary and Buckingham County Primary. Both schools serve a student population that is predominantly White and African American, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges in the area.
Academically, the two schools are struggling, with both ranking among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state. Buckingham County Elementary was ranked 897 out of 1,114 Virginia elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year, while Buckingham County Primary was ranked 970 out of 1,114 in the 2022-2023 school year. The schools' performance on state assessments (SOL tests) is also below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels.
The data suggests that the Buckingham County Public Schools district faces significant challenges in providing high-quality education to its elementary school students. While the two schools have a racially diverse student population, the persistent low performance and high percentage of students from low-income families indicate a need for the district to address the underlying issues and ensure equitable access to resources and support for all students.
