Culpeper County Public Schools

The Culpeper County Public Schools district in Virginia consists of 10 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 94 out of 130 school districts in the state and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger. However, the data reveals significant performance gaps between the highest and lowest-performing schools within the district.

The standout schools in the district are Emerald Hill Elementary and A.G. Richardson Elementary, which consistently perform above the district and state averages on SOL tests, particularly in mathematics and reading. These schools also have relatively low percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients, at 37.2% and 41.65%, respectively. In contrast, Sycamore Park Elementary and Farmington Elementary appear to be the lowest-performing schools, with significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the other elementary schools.

The data also reveals a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with the schools with the highest percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients tending to have the lowest proficiency rates on SOL tests. This highlights the impact of equity and access issues within the Culpeper County Public Schools district. Additionally, the variation in school-level performance within the district suggests the need for more targeted interventions and the sharing of best practices to ensure consistent academic achievement across all schools.
