Summary:
ZIP code 62691 has one school serving grades 6–12: Virginia Junior/Senior High School, with 156 students. The clearest concern is its latest all-grades IAR performance: in 2025–2026, 51% were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 5 percentage points below the state, and 30% in math, 10 points below. Both subjects declined from the prior year while state results improved, making the school’s all-grades math shortfall the most important finding for families.
Virginia Junior/Senior High School is both the only local option and the sole standout; there is no listed school to compare it with locally. Its strongest supplied comparisons are in grade 9, where it exceeded state results by 8 points in ELA, 4 in math and 11 in science. Grade 11 ACT science was also 7 points above the state. Results are weaker in some middle grades: grade 6 ELA was 20 points below the state and grade 6 math was 11 points below. Grade 8 ELA was 5 points above the state, while all-grades math was 10 points below. These differences show why the overall results alone do not describe every grade’s performance.
All-grades results moved in the wrong direction relative to the state from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: the school’s ELA proficiency fell 8 points as the state rose 3, and school math fell 8 points as state math rose 1. In contrast, SchoolDigger’s ranking improved from 418th of 697 schools (40th percentile, 2 stars) in 2023–2024 to 135th of 620 (78th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026. Other context includes a 10.7 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and 60% free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Graduation was 79%, compared with 90% statewide; chronic absenteeism was 21%, below the state’s 24% but above the district’s 18%.
