The 23418 zip code area in Virginia is home to two schools - Nandua Middle School and Accawmacke Elementary School, both part of the Accomack County Public Schools district. While Nandua Middle has consistently ranked in the top half of Virginia middle schools, Accawmacke Elementary has struggled, ranking in the bottom third of the state's elementary schools.
Nandua Middle School stands out as the stronger performer, with 8th-grade students scoring 100% proficient or better in Algebra I and exceeding state averages in several other subject areas.

In contrast, Accawmacke Elementary lags behind state and district averages in most 3rd-5th grade subject areas, particularly in 3rd-grade math and reading.
The data suggests that resource allocation and funding may be a contributing factor to the performance gap between the two schools. Nandua Middle spends $8,532 per student, while Accawmacke Elementary spends $7,393 per student. Additionally, Nandua Middle has a lower student-teacher ratio than Accawmacke Elementary. Both schools serve a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with over 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which may present unique challenges for the schools to address.
