Jonesville Middle

Summary:

Jonesville Middle School is a public middle school located in Jonesville, Virginia, serving grades 5-7 with a total enrollment of 248 students. The school is part of the Lee County Public Schools district, which is ranked 45 out of 130 school districts in Virginia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jonesville Middle School consistently outperforms the state and district averages in academic achievement, with strong proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, Science, and Civics. The school has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past 10 years and ranks among the top middle schools in Virginia. However, the school's student population is significantly less diverse than the state average, with over 95% of students identifying as white. Additionally, there are notable performance disparities between student subgroups, with female students outperforming male students and low socioeconomic status students performing better than the state average.

Compared to a nearby middle school, Pennington Middle, Jonesville Middle has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. While Jonesville Middle's racial homogeneity and subgroup performance gaps are areas for potential improvement, the school's consistent excellence and access to resources make it a standout institution within the Lee County Public Schools district.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
