Summary

Central High is a public high school located in Victoria, Virginia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 490 students. The school is part of the Lunenburg County Public Schools district, which is ranked 77 out of 129 districts in Virginia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Central High has consistently maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 91.9% to 96.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the nearby Nottoway High School, which had a 92.8% four-year graduation rate in the most recent year. Central High students also generally perform better on state assessments (SOL tests) compared to the Lunenburg County Public Schools district and the state of Virginia, with higher proficiency rates in Algebra I, Geometry, Biology, and English Reading for 11th grade students.

While Central High has seen a significant decrease in chronic absenteeism rates, from 30.1% in 2022-2023 to 7.7% in 2023-2024, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, and its performance on state assessments varies across different student subgroups, indicating potential achievement gaps that need to be addressed.
