Summary

Christiansburg Middle is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Christiansburg, Virginia, with a student population of 760. The school is part of the Montgomery County Public Schools district, which is ranked 54 out of 129 school districts in Virginia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Christiansburg Middle has been ranked between 207 and 317 out of around 415-425 middle schools in Virginia over the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 280 out of 419 schools and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Christiansburg Middle generally performs below the Montgomery County and Virginia state averages on standardized tests, the school does excel in certain areas, such as 100% proficiency in Geometry and Algebra I for 8th-grade students and 98.75% proficiency in 8th-grade Earth Science. However, the school has faced challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 15.7% to 24.2% over the past few years, which is significantly above the state average. Additionally, the school spends between $6,623 and $7,840 per student, which is lower than the nearby Shawsville Middle ($10,839) and Auburn Middle schools.

One interesting finding is the stark differences in student group performance at Christiansburg Middle. The school's Hispanic and Multi-racial student groups perform relatively better compared to the school's overall performance, while the White and Low Socioeconomic Status student groups perform in the bottom quarter of Virginia middle schools. This suggests the school may need to focus on addressing the unique needs and challenges of its underperforming student subgroups. Additionally, the school's declining overall performance and high chronic absenteeism rates indicate that the school may be facing broader challenges that need to be addressed.
