Summary:

Stuarts Draft Middle is a public middle school serving 488 students in grades 6-8 in Stuarts Draft, Virginia, which is part of the Augusta County Public Schools district. The school has consistently strong academic performance, particularly in Algebra I, where 97.37% of 8th graders were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 92.08%. However, there are notable disparities in performance between the school's Hispanic students, who rank 77th out of 275 Virginia middle schools, and its White and multi-racial students, who rank 259th and 213th, respectively.

Stuarts Draft Middle has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.3, which is lower than the nearby schools of S. Gordon Stewart Middle (13.7) and Beverley Manor Middle (12.1).

Overall, Stuarts Draft Middle appears to be a solid-performing middle school within the Augusta County Public Schools district, with particular strengths in Algebra I and mathematics. However, the school could benefit from further investigation and targeted interventions to address the performance gaps between its student subgroups and to learn from the best practices of higher-performing schools in the region, such as the highly ranked Joseph T. Henley Middle in the Albemarle County Public Schools district.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
