Summary:
Zip code 22815 in Broadway, Virginia is served by one high school, Broadway High, part of Rockingham County Public Schools, serving grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 932 students in a small-town setting.
Broadway High has been on a strong upward trajectory, improving its state ranking from 137th (58th percentile) in 2023-2024 to 92nd (72nd percentile) in 2025-2026, and its star rating from 3 to 4 stars during the same period. This places it well above its district’s overall standing, as Rockingham County Public Schools ranks only in the 48th percentile among Virginia districts. The school excels in math and science, with 9th-grade Geometry proficiency at 98.1% and Algebra I at 92.1%, both far exceeding state averages. Biology and Earth Science also beat state benchmarks. Graduation is strong at 95.5% (state: 92.3%), and the dropout rate of 3.1% is below both the district (3.9%) and state (5.0%). Per-student spending is $9,100 with a 13.6 student-teacher ratio, and 42.6% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch.
Two areas deserve attention. Chronic absenteeism is a concern, with 16.2% of students missing substantial school time, higher than the district’s 11.0% and the state’s 14.8%. English Reading is also a relative weakness, particularly for 12th graders, where proficiency is just 54.6% — about 16 points below the state average and 17 points below the district. Some year-to-year volatility exists, such as 10th-grade Algebra I dropping from 95.8% to 73.9%, likely reflecting different cohorts or retake policies. Overall, Broadway High is a solid, improving school with standout STEM results and strong graduation outcomes, though chronic absenteeism and senior-level reading proficiency are worth monitoring.
