High Schools in Craig County Public Schools

Summary:

Craig County Public Schools is a small school district in Virginia that serves the community of Craig County. The district has only one high school, Craig County High School, which serves students in grades 9-12.

Craig County High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past few years, ranging from 121st out of 328 Virginia high schools in 2024-2025 to 198th out of 329 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on various SOL (Standards of Learning) tests has been mixed, with some subjects like Geometry and Algebra I showing strong proficiency rates, while others like World History I and 6th-8th grade Mathematics have lower proficiency rates compared to the state average. The school's four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 92.8%, which is higher than the state average, but its dropout rate of 4.5% and chronic absenteeism rate of 15.7% are both slightly higher than the state averages.

The school's demographics and funding also present some challenges. Craig County High School has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 82.38% for the 2023-2024 school year, and its per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $9,392, which is lower than the state average. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.6 for the 2023-2024 school year, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students.
