Summary:
The city of Scottsville, Virginia has only one public school serving grades PK-5: Scottsville Elementary. While the school's small size and relatively low student-teacher ratio suggest potential opportunities for improvement, its performance metrics indicate it is struggling compared to other elementary schools in Albemarle County and across Virginia.
Scottsville Elementary's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from 771 out of 1,114 Virginia elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 934 out of 1,109 in 2021-2022. The school's academic performance, as measured by SOL (Standards of Learning) test scores, is generally below the Albemarle County and Virginia state averages across various subjects and grade levels. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (58.59%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.
While Scottsville Elementary faces challenges, the data suggests there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve the school's performance. With per-student spending on par with the district and state averages, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school could potentially benefit from focused efforts to address the academic and socioeconomic factors contributing to its underperformance compared to other elementary schools in the region.
