Summary:
Zip code 22963 is served by a single middle school: Fluvanna Middle, part of Fluvanna County Public Schools, which enrolls 745 students in grades 5–7. With only one school in the area, the analysis below compares Fluvanna Middle to state averages, district figures, and its own year-over-year trends.
Fluvanna Middle has clear strengths in math. Its 7th-grade math proficiency of 69.8% is nearly 19 points above the state average of 51.11%. Sixth-grade math also exceeds the state by 8.6 points, and 100% of 7th graders taking Algebra I scored proficient in both recent school years. Science scores are strong too, with 5th-grade science at 75.32% versus 68.75% statewide. The school has also been improving overall, climbing from the 45th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 56th percentile in the latest ranking, and earning a 3-star rating after two consecutive 2-star years. This progress is especially notable given that roughly 61% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
The biggest concern is reading proficiency. Only 61.47% of 5th graders passed the reading SOL, about 11 points below the state average. Reading improves by 6th grade to 73.09%, which matches the state, but 7th-grade reading (70.83%) still trails slightly. Chronic absenteeism is another major issue: 25.1% of students are chronically absent, compared to 14.8% statewide. This is essentially identical to the district rate of 25.3%, suggesting a community-wide challenge. With a 13:1 student-teacher ratio and spending of $9,926 per student, the school's resources are reasonable, but addressing the early reading gap and absenteeism would likely help raise achievement even further.
