Summary

Amelia County Middle is a public middle school located in Amelia Court House, Virginia, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 351 students. The school is part of the Amelia County Public Schools district, which is ranked 106 out of 129 districts in Virginia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Amelia County Middle has consistently high proficiency rates in Algebra I and Geometry, with 100% of students scoring proficient or better in these subjects. However, the school struggles in other subject areas, particularly in Mathematics, where proficiency rates range from 49-62% across grades 6-8, lagging behind the state averages. In English Reading, the school's proficiency rates are also below the state averages, ranging from 65-75% across grades 6-8. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students performing relatively better compared to their White and Multi-racial peers, who rank in the bottom 25% of Virginia middle schools. Amelia County Middle also has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite spending more per student ($7,932 in 2020-2021) compared to the nearby schools, such as Tomahawk Creek Middle and Powhatan Middle, Amelia County Middle does not seem to be achieving better academic results. The school also experiences high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 13.6% to 28.2% over the past few years, which could be a contributing factor to its overall low performance. To address these challenges, Amelia County Middle may need to implement targeted interventions, explore more effective resource allocation strategies, and collaborate with nearby high-performing schools to learn from their best practices.
