Summary

White Hall Elementary School serves 364 students in grades 1–5 in Richmond’s Madison County, a district ranked 29th of 158 in the state by SchoolDigger. The most important finding is the sharp contrast between strong reading and weak 5th-grade writing: 68% of 5th graders were proficient in reading, tied for the highest nearby result, while 25% were proficient in writing, the lowest among the 10 comparable schools.

Reading is the school’s clearest strength across grades: its 3rd–5th grade average was 63%, compared with 50% statewide, 58% in the district, and 57% at nearby schools. Writing was a substantial shortfall: the 25% 5th-grade result was 10 points below the state, 22 below the district, and about 24 below nearby schools. Science was another bright spot, with 47% in 4th grade versus 40% statewide and 39% at nearby schools. Mathematics was around the local middle, averaging 44% compared with 44% nearby and 43% statewide. Social studies was less competitive: 44% in 5th grade, below the nearby average of 48%.

Reading and science have improved over time: reading rose from an average of 50% in 2022–2023 to 63% in 2025–2026, while 4th-grade science increased from 31% to 47%. Mathematics rose from 40% to 44% across those years but fell from its 2023–2024 high; writing edged up from 23% in 2023–2024 to 25% in the latest year and remains well below the state. SchoolDigger ranks White Hall 237th of 684 schools, at the 65th percentile with 3 stars; its percentile has recovered 19 points from its 2022–2023 low, though it sits fifth among 10 nearby schools.
