Summary

Metompkin Elementary is a public elementary school located in Parksley, Virginia, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 558. It is part of the Accomack County Public Schools district, which is ranked 84 out of 129 school districts in Virginia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Metompkin Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Virginia elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a ranking between 919 and 1082 out of over 1,100 schools. It has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period, indicating very low performance compared to other schools in the state. The school's test scores are significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in Math and Reading for 3rd-5th grades ranging from 43.75% to 65.38%, compared to the state averages of 66.93% to 72.98%. Metompkin Elementary has also experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 6.0% to 19.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Metompkin Elementary to the nearby Chincoteague Elementary and Pungoteague Elementary, which are also in the Accomack County Public Schools district, Metompkin consistently underperforms. These nearby schools have significantly higher test scores and rankings than Metompkin Elementary. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the high chronic absenteeism rates at Metompkin Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's low academic performance, and the school's relatively low per-student spending may also be a factor in its inability to provide the necessary resources and support to address the needs of its student population.
