Summary

Miles Jones Elementary is a public elementary school in Richmond, Virginia, serving 506 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Richmond City Public Schools district, which is ranked 115 out of 129 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Miles Jones Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Virginia elementary schools, with proficiency rates on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 39.51%, compared to the state average of 72.89% and the district average of 51.96%. The school's performance has declined in recent years, with proficiency rates dropping in most subject areas.

The school faces other challenges as well, including a high percentage of students from disadvantaged backgrounds (99.8% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) and relatively high chronic absenteeism rates (ranging from 15.7% to 25.3% over the past few years). While the nearby Chesterfield County Public Schools generally outperform Miles Jones Elementary and the Richmond City Public Schools district, the school's performance may be influenced by systemic issues within the district, such as funding, resources, and educational policies. However, the school's relatively strong performance in supporting English Language Learners suggests it may have effective strategies that could be leveraged to improve outcomes for other student groups.
