Best Public Schools in Zip Code 24112

Summary:

The 24112 zip code area is home to 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, which are part of the Henry County Public Schools and Martinsville City Public Schools districts. While the schools in this area face challenges, such as high poverty rates, a few standout institutions are worth highlighting.

Rich Acres Elementary is the top-performing school in the data set, ranking in the top 402 out of 1,114 Virginia elementary schools and receiving a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students excel in mathematics, with particularly high proficiency rates. Laurel Park Middle is the highest-performing middle school, ranking in the top 316 out of 417 Virginia middle schools and boasting a 97.67% proficiency rate in Algebra I, well above the state average. While Martinsville High has the lowest overall ranking among the high schools in the data set, its 9th-grade students excel in Biology, with a proficiency rate of 89.58%, higher than the state average.

The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance between the schools, with factors beyond just funding and resources likely contributing to these differences. Schools with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Albert Harris Elementary and Martinsville High, tend to have lower overall academic performance, highlighting the challenges faced by high-poverty schools. The strong performance of Laurel Park Middle on the Algebra I exam suggests the importance of the middle school years in building a solid foundation in mathematics, which can then translate to success in high school.
