Summary:
The city of Accomac, Virginia is home to a single public elementary school, Accawmacke Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Accomack County Public Schools district. While the district is ranked 72 out of 130 in Virginia and has a 2-star rating, Accawmacke Elementary itself has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 583 out of 1,109 Virginia elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 785 out of 1,114 in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating.
Academically, Accawmacke Elementary struggles to meet state and district averages, particularly in mathematics and English reading proficiency. For example, the school's 3rd grade mathematics proficiency rate was 66.67% in 2023-2024, compared to the district's 49.7% and the state's 70.11%. However, the school's 5th grade science proficiency rate of 68.42% in 2023-2024 was higher than the district's 58.73% and the state's 67.26%. The school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 106.06% in 2022-2023, suggests significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting academic performance.
Accawmacke Elementary's relatively low per-student spending of $7,393 in the 2020-2021 school year and high student-teacher ratio of 13.2 for the 2022-2023 school year may indicate potential resource allocation challenges that could be contributing to the school's underperformance. Overall, the analysis of Accawmacke Elementary suggests that the school is not a standout performer in the region and faces several areas for improvement, particularly in core academic subjects and resource allocation.
