Summary

Post Oak Middle is a public middle school in Spotsylvania, Virginia, serving 711 students in grades 6-8. It is part of the Spotsylvania County Public Schools district, which is ranked 92 out of 129 school districts in Virginia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Post Oak Middle excels in advanced math courses like Algebra I and Geometry, with 100% proficiency rates, its performance in general math and reading lags behind the Spotsylvania County and Virginia state averages. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.7% to 25.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Post Oak Middle has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 65.68% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, much higher than the district and state averages.

Compared to other middle schools in the Stafford County and Orange County districts, Post Oak Middle generally performs at a lower level, with lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. However, the school has a lower student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.8 to 14.6, which could be an advantage if leveraged effectively. To address these challenges, the school may need to explore targeted interventions and partnerships to support its diverse student population and improve overall academic performance.

I love my school to the stars. Such an amazing environment with the sweetest faculty and incredible students. Each and every teacher makes you want to come back to school. All of our office members also keep our school under control. All in all, it's a great school and I love going there each and every day. Close Quote

If the parents would get more involved and make their kids work towards a common goal this would be a better school. Parents blame the admin for their little darlings not doing their work Close Quote
