Summary:

The 23692 zip code area is home to a strong educational system, with 8 schools spanning elementary, middle, and high school grades. These schools are part of the highly-ranked York County Public Schools district, which is ranked 7th out of 129 districts in Virginia and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Several schools in the area stand out for their exceptional performance. Grafton High School and York High School have consistently ranked among the top high schools in Virginia, with 5-star and 4-star ratings, respectively. These schools boast high proficiency rates on SOL tests and impressive graduation and dropout rates. At the elementary level, Grafton Bethel Elementary has also earned a 4-star rating and strong academic performance.

Overall, the schools in the 23692 zip code area demonstrate a high level of academic achievement, with several standout institutions. However, the data also suggests some potential equity concerns, as there is variation in free/reduced lunch rates and test scores, particularly for lower-income schools. Additionally, the consistently high chronic absenteeism rate across all schools is an area that may warrant further investigation and intervention strategies by the York County Public Schools district.
