King William County Public Schools

Summary:

The King William County Public Schools district in Virginia consists of 4 schools: 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of strengths and areas for improvement across the district.

King William High School stands out with a relatively high graduation rate of 92.8% and strong performance on SOL tests, particularly in Algebra II, Biology, and Writing. However, the school has a low statewide ranking and a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Cool Spring Primary and Acquinton Elementary struggle, with Hamilton Holmes Middle School excelling in Algebra I and Geometry but underperforming in overall Mathematics proficiency.

Across the district, there are concerning trends, such as consistently high chronic absenteeism rates and significant populations of economically disadvantaged students. Per-student spending also varies, with the elementary schools receiving more funding than the middle and high school. Addressing these challenges, including equity issues and inconsistent academic performance, will be crucial for the King William County Public Schools district to better support student success.
