Summary

Charles City County Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Charles City, Virginia, with 315 students. The school is part of the Charles City County Public Schools district, which is ranked 128 out of 129 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Charles City County Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Virginia elementary schools, with significantly lower proficiency rates on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests compared to state averages and nearby schools like Enon Elementary in Chesterfield County and George W. Watkins Elementary in New Kent County. The school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.7% to 36.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates observed at nearby schools.

The school's high percentage of students from low-income families, with 100% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and its predominantly African American student population, suggest that socioeconomic and demographic factors may be significant contributors to the school's poor academic performance. However, it is important to note that these factors alone do not determine a school's success, and the school and district should work to address the unique needs and circumstances of the school and its community to improve student outcomes.
