Nottoway High has a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger, ranking 268th out of 328 Virginia high schools in the 2024-2025 school year. While the school's four-year graduation rate is slightly above the state average at 92.8%, it has a relatively high dropout rate of 4.5% and a chronic absenteeism rate of 15.7%. The school's performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests is mixed, with strengths in Algebra I but significant weaknesses in other subjects like World History.
Nottoway High serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, as indicated by the high percentage of students (101.12%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's per-student spending of $7,052 is below the state average, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the school. Addressing these resource constraints and implementing targeted interventions to improve academic outcomes across all subject areas could be crucial in helping Nottoway High better serve its students and community.
