Best Public Schools in Zip Code 23847

Summary:

The 23847 zip code area in Greensville County, Virginia is home to 3 public schools serving grades K-12, all part of the Greensville County Public Schools district. The schools include Greensville Elementary, Greensville County High, and Edward W. Wyatt Middle.

Greensville County High School stands out as the top performer, ranking 199 out of 328 Virginia high schools and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts an impressive 92.8% four-year graduation rate and strong performance in subjects like Algebra I, Algebra II, and Biology. In contrast, Greensville Elementary and Edward W. Wyatt Middle struggle, with the latter ranking 302 out of 419 Virginia middle schools and earning a 1-star rating.

Across all three schools, the student populations face significant socioeconomic challenges, with extremely high percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. This likely contributes to the overall low performance of the Greensville County Public Schools district, which is ranked 99 out of 129 districts in Virginia and rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger. However, the strong performance of Greensville County High School in certain subjects and the relatively low student-teacher ratio at Edward W. Wyatt Middle School suggest potential opportunities for targeted interventions and resource allocation to improve educational outcomes in the region.
