Best Public Schools in Zip Code 24315

Summary:

The 24315 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Bland County Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 with 371 students. This school stands out for its strong academic performance, with test scores exceeding the state averages in several subject areas. However, the school has a relatively homogeneous student population, with 93.26% of students identifying as white, and a high percentage (66.58%) of economically disadvantaged students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Bland County Elementary's student-teacher ratio of 9.8 to 1 suggests a relatively low ratio that may contribute to more individualized attention for students. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 399 out of 1,114 Virginia elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 578 out of 1,109 in 2021-2022. This inconsistency in ranking may indicate some variability in the school's performance compared to other schools in the state.

Given the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, Bland County Public Schools may benefit from targeted interventions and support programs to address any unique challenges faced by this population and help ensure the academic success of all students at Bland County Elementary.
