Summary

Nandua Middle School is a public middle school located in Onley, Virginia, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 468 students. The school is part of the Accomack County Public Schools district, which is ranked 84 out of 129 school districts in Virginia and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Nandua Middle consistently outperforms the Accomack County Public Schools district and the state of Virginia in standardized test scores across various subjects and grade levels, particularly in Algebra I and English Reading. The school's performance is noteworthy for Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students, who rank among the top in the state. However, Nandua Middle has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.7% in 2023-2024 to 19.3% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district and state averages.

Compared to Arcadia Middle, another public middle school in the Accomack County Public Schools district, Nandua Middle consistently outperforms in academic performance, with significantly higher proficiency rates in Mathematics, Science, and English Reading. While both schools serve a high percentage of students from low-income families, the academic gap between the two suggests that factors beyond just socioeconomic status, such as school leadership and teaching quality, may be contributing to the differences in outcomes.
