Pulaski County Public Schools

Summary:

The Pulaski County Public Schools district in Virginia serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade across 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 virtual school. The district faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, but also has several standout schools that demonstrate strong academic performance.

Pulaski County Senior High and Snowville Elementary are two of the district's top-performing schools. Pulaski County Senior High has a high 4-year graduation rate of 92.8% and strong proficiency rates on SOL/Writing and SOL/Geometry tests. Snowville Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in mathematics and reading, and has the highest 4-year graduation rate among the schools at 94.59% for 4th grade VA Studies.

While some schools in the district excel, others struggle to meet state averages, indicating potential opportunities for the district to learn from its top-performing schools and implement best practices more broadly. The district's virtual school stands out for its high proficiency rates in English Reading, suggesting the virtual model may be effective for certain subjects or student populations. However, the district as a whole faces challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 15.7% across all schools, which may be impacting student learning and outcomes.
