Summary:
The Buena Vista City Public Schools district in Virginia consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from diverse economic backgrounds.
Among the standout schools, Parry McCluer Middle is a strong performer, consistently ranking in the top 150 middle schools in Virginia and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's impressive test scores, with over 80% of 6th and 7th graders proficient or better in mathematics and reading, set it apart. In contrast, the district's only high school, Parry McCluer High, has shown mixed performance, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between the top and bottom half of Virginia high schools.
The district's elementary schools also have notable stories. Enderly Heights Elementary has shown improvement, moving from the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools to the top half in recent years, with test scores generally higher than the district and state averages. However, the district as a whole faces significant economic challenges, with all schools having high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 85.86% to 87.39%, indicating a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.
