Henry Elementary has a predominantly White student population (76.16%), with a high percentage of students (76.16%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges in the community.
Henry Elementary's academic performance is mixed, with test scores below the Franklin County Public Schools district and state averages in mathematics and science, but above the state average in 3rd and 4th-grade reading. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 411th out of 1,109 Virginia elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 701st out of 1,114 in 2023-2024, and its star rating has also decreased from 3 to 2 stars during this period.
Despite the challenges, Henry Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.7, suggesting smaller class sizes that could potentially benefit student learning. However, the school's overall academic performance and declining statewide ranking indicate a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and address the socioeconomic challenges faced by the community.
