Summary:

The 24162 zip code in Virginia has only one middle school, Shawsville Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Montgomery County Public Schools district.

Shawsville Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is mixed, with high proficiency in 8th grade Algebra I but below-average proficiency in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade math and reading. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 15.7% and a high percentage of students (84.36%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Despite the school's overall low performance, it does have some bright spots, such as the exceptional 8th grade Algebra I proficiency rate. The relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.5 suggests the school may have the resources to provide more individualized attention and support to students, but this has not yet translated into improved academic outcomes. Further investigation into the factors contributing to Shawsville Middle School's performance, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and school leadership, could help identify areas for potential improvement.
