Nottoway County Public Schools

The Nottoway County Public Schools district in Virginia consists of 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, serving students from diverse backgrounds. While the district faces challenges with high rates of economic disadvantage, the data reveals stark differences in academic performance across the schools.

Crewe Primary stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 369th out of 1,114 Virginia elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Crewe Primary boasts significantly higher test scores than the district and state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. In contrast, Blackstone Primary and Nottoway High appear to be the weaker performing schools, with test scores well below the state averages and rankings in the bottom 10% and 15% of Virginia schools, respectively.

The district's high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 92.51% at Blackstone Primary to 101.09% at Crewe Primary, indicate significant economic challenges faced by the student population. Additionally, the variation in spending per student, with Crewe Primary receiving the highest funding, may suggest potential funding inequities within the district that could be impacting academic outcomes. The data also highlights the importance of the middle school years, as Nottoway Middle and Nottoway Intermediate are performing better than the high school in several subjects.
