Summary:
The Prince Edward County Public Schools district in Virginia has only one middle school, Prince Edward Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. This school faces significant academic challenges, with generally below-average performance on state standardized tests compared to the state averages, particularly in core subjects like Mathematics, Science, and English Reading.
However, Prince Edward Middle stands out for its exceptional performance in Algebra I and Geometry, with 100% proficiency rates in 8th grade Algebra I and 93.33% in 8th grade Geometry, exceeding the state averages. This suggests the school may have effective teaching and learning strategies in these subject areas. Unfortunately, the school's overall performance is poor, as evidenced by its low ranking of 375 out of 417 middle schools in Virginia and a consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years.
The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (97.79% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch) at Prince Edward Middle likely contributes to the academic challenges the school faces. Targeted interventions and support are needed to address the unique needs of this student population and improve the school's overall performance across all subject areas.
