Summary:
The 24224 zip code area in Virginia is home to 3 schools, including 2 elementary schools (Castlewood Elementary and Copper Creek Elementary) and 1 high school (Castlewood High), all part of the Russell County Public Schools district.
Among the standout schools, Castlewood High School boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 92.8% and strong performance in several SOL test subjects, exceeding district and state averages. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years. Castlewood Elementary School also performs well above the district and state averages in English Reading and Mathematics, though its statewide ranking has dropped as well.
Across all three schools, there is a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 88.97% to 92.14%, indicating significant economic challenges in the local community. Chronic absenteeism rates are also a concern, with all three schools reporting rates around 15.7%. While spending per student and student-teacher ratios vary, these factors may be contributing to the schools' overall performance and the challenges they face in supporting their students.
