Summary:
The city of Oak Hall, Virginia is home to a single high school, Arcadia High, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Accomack County Public Schools district. Arcadia High has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 231 out of 329 Virginia high schools in 2023-2024 to 275 out of 326 in 2022-2023, and a star rating that has varied between 1 and 2 stars.
While Arcadia High boasts a strong 92.8% four-year graduation rate, it also has a relatively high 4.5% dropout rate and 15.7% chronic absenteeism rate. The school's academic performance is mixed, with strengths in subjects like Geometry, Algebra I, and Earth Science, but lagging behind in areas such as Writing, VA and US History, and Biology. Notably, Arcadia High serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with over 109% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Arcadia High's per-student spending of $6,632 is below the state average, and it has a student-teacher ratio of 12.2, slightly lower than the typical high school. These factors, along with the school's inconsistent performance and unique demographic challenges, suggest areas for further investigation and potential improvement to ensure all students at Arcadia High receive a high-quality education.
