Pinchbeck has a relatively diverse student population, with 54.79% White, 12.07% African American, 21.46% Hispanic, and 7.66% Asian students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by SOL (Standards of Learning) test scores, is generally below the Henrico County and Virginia state averages across various subjects and grade levels.

Additionally, Pinchbeck's statewide ranking has dropped from 418 out of 1,097 Virginia elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 594 out of 1,114 in 2023-2024. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 50% in 2022-2023, which is higher than nearby schools like Short Pump Elementary (22.4%) and Tuckahoe Elementary (11.54%).
Pinchbeck's academic performance is generally lower than the nearby schools, such as Short Pump Elementary, Three Chopt Elementary, and Tuckahoe Elementary, which have significantly higher proficiency rates in math, science, and reading, with some schools ranking among the top 10% of Virginia elementary schools. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Pinchbeck may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance, as research has shown that students from low-income families often face additional challenges that can impact their academic achievement.
