Summary:
The Williamsburg Local district is home to two high-performing schools - Williamsburg High School and Williamsburg Elementary School. Both schools have demonstrated excellence in academic achievement, with standout metrics that include a 100% four-year graduation rate at the high school and top 11% and 20% state rankings for the elementary and high school, respectively.
Academically, the schools excel, with proficiency rates well above state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas. For instance, Williamsburg High School had 77.4% proficiency in 8th grade science, 72.7% in 8th grade math, and 80.9% in 7th grade English Language Arts, while Williamsburg Elementary School achieved 91.7% proficiency in 5th grade science, 90.5% in 4th grade math, and 89.9% in 3rd grade English Language Arts. This consistent high performance over the past three school years is a testament to the district's commitment to academic excellence.
However, the schools do have a predominantly white student population, with 93.8% and 92.2% white students at the high school and elementary school, respectively. This lack of diversity may raise questions about equity and access for minority students, an area that could warrant further investigation. Additionally, the high school's chronic absenteeism rate of 27.7% is quite high, an issue the district may want to address to ensure all students are engaged and attending school regularly.
