Summary:

The 22827 zip code in Virginia is home to a single middle school, Elkton Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has seen a slight improvement in its ranking over the past few years, it currently ranks 294 out of 419 Virginia middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Elkton Middle School's performance is mixed, with strengths in 8th grade Algebra I, where 100% of students are proficient or better, but weaknesses in other subject areas, particularly in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade mathematics. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 15.7% for the 2023-2024 school year is higher than the state average, and it has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 64.14%, indicating a relatively high-need student population. Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1, which could be a positive factor in supporting student learning.

Compared to the broader Rockingham County Public Schools district and the state of Virginia, Elkton Middle School's performance is mixed, with strengths in some areas but weaknesses in others. The school's lower per-student spending of $6,733 for the 2020-2021 school year, which is below the state average, may be a contributing factor to its performance and the resources available to support student success.
