Summary:

ZIP code 22701 covers the Culpeper, Virginia area and is home to 10 public schools in Culpeper County Public Schools — six elementary schools serving grades PK-5, two middle schools serving grades 6-8, and two high schools serving grades 9-12 — with a combined enrollment of about 8,372 students. The district ranks below the Virginia average (92nd of 131 districts, 2 stars), and performance varies widely. The strongest schools are all elementary: A.G. Richardson Elementary (66th percentile, 3 stars), Emerald Hill Elementary (65th percentile, 3 stars), and Pearl Sample Elementary (58th percentile, 3 stars). The weakest are also elementary: Farmington Elementary (18th percentile) and Sycamore Park Elementary (16th percentile), both 1-star schools.

A.G. Richardson achieves strong results despite moderate poverty (55% FRPL), with 5th-grade math proficiency near 88% and 4th-grade Virginia Studies near 88%, both well above state averages. Emerald Hill is a rising star, climbing from the 44th to 65th percentile over three years and posting the ZIP code's lowest chronic absenteeism at 11.2%. Pearl Sample is the high-poverty success story: despite 82% FRPL, it posted the best 5th-grade math score in the ZIP code at 92.37%. Among middle schools, Floyd T. Binns Middle outperforms Culpeper Middle — 8th-grade math proficiency was 61% versus 40%. At the high school level, Culpeper County High improved to the 38th percentile while Eastern View High fell to the 24th, despite nearly identical poverty, attendance, and graduation profiles.

Several clear patterns emerge. Chronic absenteeism rises sharply with age: elementary schools range from 11% to 19%, middle schools average about 20%, and high schools approach 25% — far above the state's 14.8%. Both high schools struggle with 12th-grade writing (Eastern View 15.63%, Culpeper County 42.86% vs. 64.97% statewide) and 10th-grade Geometry retakes. Middle schools also show a striking split between advanced and on-grade-level math: advanced students score 95-100% proficient in Algebra I and Geometry, while on-grade-level 7th and 8th grade math proficiency can fall below 40%. Finally, higher spending does not guarantee better results — Farmington spends the most per student ($11,601) yet ranks among the lowest, while Eastern View spends the least ($8,908).
