Summary:
The Hopewell City Public Schools district in Virginia has only one middle school, Carter G. Woodson Middle, which serves 826 students from grades 6-8. While the school excels in Algebra I, with 100% proficiency for 7th graders and 97.96% for 8th graders, it struggles in other core subject areas, with proficiency rates below the district and state averages in Mathematics, Science, and English Reading.
Despite its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.8 and per-student spending of $8,100, Carter G. Woodson Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Virginia middle schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests the school may be facing challenges in providing a well-rounded education for its students, who come from a high-poverty background, with 101.57% of the student population eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
The stark contrast between the school's performance in Algebra I and its struggles in other subjects, coupled with its persistently low rankings and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, raises concerns about the efficiency and effectiveness of the school's resource utilization. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by Carter G. Woodson Middle and ensure that all students receive a quality education.
