Summary

Meadville Elementary is a public elementary school located in Nathalie, Virginia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 160 students. The school is part of the Halifax County Public Schools district, which is ranked 75 out of 129 districts in Virginia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Meadville Elementary has consistently ranked in the top 50% of Virginia elementary schools in recent years, with a ranking as high as 387 out of 1,110 schools in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests is generally above the district and state averages, particularly in Mathematics and English Reading. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Meadville Elementary had 80.65% of 3rd graders, 89.29% of 4th graders, and 70.59% of 5th graders proficient or better in SOL Mathematics, compared to 77.87% and 72.89% for the district and state, respectively. In SOL English Reading, Meadville Elementary had 87.1% of 3rd graders, 85.71% of 4th graders, and 52.94% of 5th graders proficient or better, compared to 65.3% and 66.93% for the district and state.

However, Meadville Elementary has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.7% to 29.3% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. This high chronic absenteeism rate may be a contributing factor to the school's lower performance in certain subject areas, particularly English Reading. Additionally, some nearby schools, such as Kentuck Elementary and Scottsburg Elementary, have higher overall performance and rankings compared to Meadville Elementary, which may be due to their lower rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility.
