Summary:
Rappahannock County Public Schools has only one elementary school, Rappahannock County Elementary, which serves grades PK-7 and has an enrollment of 446 students. While the school has some areas of strong performance, such as 4th grade mathematics and 5th grade science, it also struggles in certain subjects like 3rd grade reading and 7th grade civics and economics, and its statewide ranking has declined over the past three years.
Rappahannock County Elementary is ranked 527 out of 1,114 Virginia elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's racial makeup is predominantly white (83.63%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (9.87%) and African American (2.02%) students. Additionally, the school's free and reduced-price lunch rate is 43.5%, which is higher than the state average, indicating that the school may face socioeconomic challenges in supporting its student population.
Despite these challenges, Rappahannock County Elementary has a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.8, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention and support for students. However, the school's inconsistent performance across grade levels and subjects, as well as its declining statewide ranking, suggest that the Rappahannock County Public Schools district may need to address these issues to improve the overall quality of education for its elementary school students.
