Best Public Schools in Zip Code 23829

Summary:

The 23829 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Capron Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 203 students. Capron Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in Mathematics and VA Studies, where its proficiency rates exceed the averages for Southampton County Public Schools and the state of Virginia.

Despite serving a relatively high percentage (77.83%) of economically disadvantaged students, Capron Elementary has maintained a fluctuating statewide ranking, ranging from 319 out of 1,114 Virginia elementary schools (4 out of 5 stars) in 2022-2023 to 586 out of 1,109 (2 out of 5 stars) in 2021-2022. This volatility in ranking may indicate that the school's performance is sensitive to factors that can change from year to year, such as changes in student population, staffing, or instructional approaches.

As the sole school in the 23829 zip code, Capron Elementary may face unique challenges or opportunities due to its relative isolation from other schools in the area. However, the school's strong academic performance, particularly in Mathematics and VA Studies, and its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.2 suggest that it is providing effective instruction and support for its students, despite the economic challenges faced by the community it serves.
