Best Public Schools in Henry, VA

Summary:

The city of Henry, Virginia has a single public elementary school, Henry Elementary, which serves students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Franklin County Public Schools district, which is ranked 38 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Henry Elementary has some positive metrics, such as a relatively high percentage of students proficient in mathematics and reading, it also has areas of concern. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with proficiency rates in some subjects falling below the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's SchoolDigger ranking has declined over the past three years, from 411 out of 1,109 Virginia elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 701 out of 1,114 in 2023-2024, suggesting a potential decline in performance relative to other schools in the state.

Another notable aspect of Henry Elementary is the high percentage of students (76.16%) who receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that the school serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population. This may have implications for the resources and support available to the school and its students. Additionally, the school's predominantly White student population (76.16%) raises questions about equity and access for students of color, which would require further investigation.
