Summary:
Nottoway County Public Schools in Virginia operates two middle schools: Nottoway Intermediate and Nottoway Middle. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and face some notable challenges, including high chronic absenteeism and lower-than-average proficiency rates in core academic subjects.
Nottoway Intermediate stands out for its relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 15.7%, which is higher than the state average. Both Nottoway Intermediate and Nottoway Middle also have significantly lower proficiency rates in mathematics and science compared to the state averages, indicating potential areas for improvement. However, Nottoway Middle excels in Algebra I, with a proficiency rate over 90% that matches the state average.
The data also reveals that both schools have very high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, with Nottoway Intermediate at 101.06% and Nottoway Middle at 100.4%. This suggests that the student population is predominantly from low-income families, which may have implications for the schools' resource needs and support services. Additionally, the difference in spending per student between the two schools ($1,026) is notable and may be worth investigating further.
