Giles County Public Schools

The Giles County Public Schools district in Virginia consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary/middle schools and 2 high schools. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with some diversity in African American and Hispanic students. Overall, the schools in the district demonstrate a mix of strong and average academic performance, with Giles High and Narrows Elementary/Middle standing out as top performers.

Giles High is a standout school, ranking 44th out of 329 Virginia high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently demonstrates strong performance on SOL tests, with over 80% proficiency rates in many subjects. In contrast, the elementary/middle schools in the district generally perform better on SOL tests compared to the state averages, with Narrows Elementary/Middle and Eastern Elementary/Middle standing out for their consistent academic excellence.

The district's schools vary in their student-teacher ratios and spending per student, with the high schools, particularly Giles High, having lower student-teacher ratios and higher spending per student compared to the elementary/middle schools. This suggests that the district may be allocating more resources to the high school level, which could be an area for further analysis. Additionally, the district's predominantly white student population may be an area for the district to consider addressing in terms of promoting greater racial diversity.
