Summary

Rye Cove Intermediate is a public middle school in Clinchport, Virginia, serving grades 5-7 with 155 students and a student-teacher ratio of 10.5. The school is part of the Scott County Public Schools district, which is ranked 22 out of 129 school districts in Virginia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of Rye Cove Intermediate's key strengths is its performance in serving economically disadvantaged students, ranking very high (top 52 out of 403 VA middle schools) in this category with a 4-5 star rating. The school also consistently outperforms the state and district averages in mathematics proficiency across grades 5-7, with over 70% of students scoring proficient or better. Additionally, Rye Cove Intermediate demonstrates strong performance in English Reading, with results exceeding the state averages in each grade level.

However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.9% in 2023-2024 to 15.7% in 2024-2025, which is an area that needs to be addressed. Compared to nearby high-performing schools like Coeburn Middle and L.F. Addington Middle in the Wise County Public Schools district, Rye Cove Intermediate has room for improvement, particularly in the upper grades. Overall, Rye Cove Intermediate is a strong-performing middle school, but it should continue to explore ways to enhance its educational outcomes and address any areas of concern.
