Summary

Abb's Valley-Boissevain Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Bluefield, Virginia, part of the Tazewell County Public Schools district. This high-performing school consistently outperforms its district and state counterparts in academic achievement, particularly among students from low-income backgrounds.

Abb's Valley-Boissevain Elementary has a strong track record, ranking 220 out of 1,110 Virginia elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year with a 4-star rating. The school excels in standardized test scores, with 100% of 4th-grade students proficient or better in SOL/Mathematics, compared to 81.04% for the district and 72.98% for the state. In 4th-grade SOL/English Reading, the school had 94.44% proficiency, outperforming the district at 85.9% and the state at 73.09%. Despite having a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, the school's low-income students perform exceptionally well, ranking 106 out of 1,046 Virginia elementary schools for this subgroup.

Abb's Valley-Boissevain Elementary also stands out for its efficient use of resources, with a relatively low per-student spending of $6,701 in the 2020-2021 school year, compared to nearby schools. The school also has a smaller class size, with a student-teacher ratio of 12.7 in the 2023-2024 school year, which may contribute to its academic success. However, the school's rising chronic absenteeism rates, from 15.7% in 2023-2024 to 30.6% in 2022-2023, are a concern that the school and district will need to address to ensure students are attending school regularly and maximizing their learning opportunities.
