Elementary Schools in Russell County Public Schools

Summary:

The Russell County Public Schools district in Virginia is home to 7 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools are located in a predominantly rural area and serve a student population that faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across all campuses.

Among the standout schools in the district is Belfast Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Virginia and boasts exceptional academic performance, with 100% proficiency in Math and Reading for multiple grade levels. Another high-performing school is Honaker Elementary, which has strong academic results, particularly in Math, and a low student-teacher ratio of 12.3:1. In contrast, Castlewood Elementary and Lebanon Elementary have relatively lower test scores compared to the other schools in the district.

Despite the overall strong academic performance of the district's elementary schools, the data reveals significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the student populations, with all schools having high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 88.93% to 93.7%. This suggests that the district may need to allocate resources and implement strategies to address the needs of economically disadvantaged students and support their academic success.
