Summary:
The city of Stanleytown, Virginia has a single public elementary school, Stanleytown Elementary, which serves grades PK-5. While the school has some positive attributes, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the district and state averages.
Henry County Public Schools, the district that Stanleytown Elementary is a part of, has seen a decline in the school's overall ranking among Virginia elementary schools over the past three years, from 688th out of 1,109 schools in 2021-2022 to 798th out of 1,114 schools in 2023-2024. This corresponds with a decrease in the school's SchoolDigger rating from 2 stars to 1 star. Additionally, Stanleytown Elementary's standardized test scores in mathematics, science, and reading are generally below the district and state averages, with some exceptions in 5th-grade mathematics and science.
One potential factor contributing to Stanleytown Elementary's academic challenges is the high percentage of students (82.77%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the school's low student-teacher ratio of 12.4 could be a positive factor, it does not appear to be translating into stronger academic outcomes, suggesting that other factors, such as teacher quality, curriculum, or school leadership, may be playing a role in the school's performance.
