Best Public Schools in Zip Code 23434

Summary:

The 12 schools in zip code 23434 in Suffolk, Virginia serve students from elementary through high school, with a mix of 7 elementary, 3 middle, and 2 high schools. This area has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with all schools reporting free/reduced lunch rates over 60%. While some standout schools like Oakland Elementary and Forest Glen Middle perform well, there are significant gaps in academic achievement across the district.

King's Fork High stands out for its high proficiency rates in Algebra I and Algebra II, while Lakeland High has a lower statewide ranking. The data also reveals that higher spending per student does not necessarily translate to better performance, as seen with Booker T. Washington Elementary, which has the highest spending but is one of the lower-performing schools.

Racial disparities are also evident, with King's Fork High having the highest percentage of African American students at 68.24%. Further analysis would be needed to understand the underlying factors contributing to the performance gaps across the Suffolk City Public Schools district.
