Summary

Appomattox Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Appomattox, Virginia, with 533 students. The school is part of the Appomattox County Public Schools district, which is ranked 50 out of 129 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Appomattox Elementary's performance on state tests is generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages, with a statewide ranking that has fluctuated between 400-683 out of around 1,100 Virginia elementary schools over the past 10 years. Compared to nearby schools, Appomattox Elementary's academic performance is stronger than Central Elementary (Amherst County) and the Lynchburg City schools, but lags behind the higher-performing Rustburg Elementary and Concord Elementary (both in Campbell County).

The school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 79.36% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. While the school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, there are opportunities for improvement, particularly in addressing chronic absenteeism rates that have been higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing relatively well but African American and multi-racial students lagging behind, suggesting a need to address achievement gaps and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
