Summary

Beulah Elementary is a public elementary school located in North Chesterfield, Virginia, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 993. It is part of the Chesterfield County Public Schools district, which is ranked 71 out of 129 school districts in Virginia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Beulah Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years, dropping from a high of 273 out of 1,100 Virginia elementary schools in 2014-2015 to its current ranking of 954 out of 1,110 in 2024-2025. Its SchoolDigger star rating has also decreased from 4 stars in 2014-2015 to just 1 star in the current school year. The school consistently underperforms the district and state averages in standardized test scores, with a 3rd grade math proficiency rate of 59.88% compared to 72.77% for the district and 72.89% for the state. Beulah Elementary also has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 15.7% compared to the district's 15.6% and the state's 15.7%.

In comparison, the nearby Ecoff Elementary, Jacobs Road Elementary, and O.B. Gates Elementary generally outperform Beulah Elementary in academic metrics, with higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. These schools also have a lower percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to their stronger academic performance. Beulah Elementary's challenges are particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and students with disabilities, who rank in the bottom 25-30% of Virginia elementary schools in their respective categories.
