Best Public Schools in Zip Code 24016

Summary:

The 24016 zip code area in Roanoke, Virginia is home to three schools: two Highland Park Elementary, Hurt Park Elementary, and one Addison Aerospace Magnet Middle. These schools serve students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with high rates of eligibility for free or reduced-price lunch.

Among the three schools, Highland Park Elementary stands out as the strongest performer, ranking 406 out of 1,110 Virginia elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the Roanoke City Public Schools district and the state of Virginia in several academic areas, including mathematics, reading, and science. In contrast, Hurt Park Elementary is the lowest-performing school, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages.

The Addison Aerospace Magnet Middle school stands out for its specialized focus on aerospace, which may contribute to its stronger performance in certain subject areas, such as Algebra I. However, the school's overall ranking of 409 out of 419 Virginia middle schools suggests that the specialized program alone may not be enough to overcome the broader academic challenges faced by the schools in the 24016 zip code area.
