Summary

Hardin Reynolds Memorial School is a public middle school in Critz, Virginia, serving grades 4-7 with a total enrollment of 198 students. The school is part of the Patrick County Public Schools district, which is ranked 8th out of 129 districts in Virginia and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hardin Reynolds Memorial School has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Virginia middle schools in recent years, with particularly strong performance in English Reading, where students score above the state and district averages. The school's Mathematics performance is more mixed, with some grades scoring above and others below the state and district averages. Hardin Reynolds Memorial School also performs well on Science and Civics/Economics assessments, generally scoring above the state and district averages. Notably, the school achieves this high academic performance despite having a very high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 95.96% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Compared to the nearby Martinsville Middle and Fieldale-Collinsville Middle schools, Hardin Reynolds Memorial School generally outperforms these schools on academic measures, despite serving a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. However, the school has experienced an increase in chronic absenteeism rates in recent years, rising from 6.3% in 2021-2022 to 15.7% in 2023-2024, which is an area of concern that the school and district may need to address.
