Summary:
The city of Glade Hill, Virginia is home to a single elementary school, Glade Hill Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Franklin County Public Schools district. While the district is ranked 38 out of 130 in Virginia and has a 4-star rating, Glade Hill Elementary's performance has been mixed, with a declining statewide ranking from 405 out of 1,109 Virginia elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 531 out of 1,114 in 2023-2024, and a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Glade Hill Elementary's performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests is uneven, with some areas of strength, such as 5th grade mathematics and English reading, and some areas of weakness, such as 4th grade mathematics and Virginia Studies. The school's proficiency rates in these subjects often lag behind the district and state averages. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 75.12% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may present unique challenges for the school and district to address.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention, the overall data suggests that Glade Hill Elementary may need to focus on improving its academic performance, particularly in areas where it is underperforming compared to the district and state. The school's declining statewide ranking and uneven test scores indicate that there is room for improvement to better support the success of its students.
