Summary:
The city of Check, Virginia has only one public school, Check Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 7th grade. The school is part of the Floyd County Public Schools district, which is ranked 56 out of 129 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Check Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 709 out of 1,114 Virginia elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 821 out of 1,110 in 2024-2025, with a 1-star rating in the most recent year. However, the school has some bright spots, with higher proficiency rates than the district and state averages in 5th grade mathematics, as well as 6th and 7th grade mathematics and English reading. The school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 77.16% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024.
Despite the school's overall performance challenges, it appears to be using its resources efficiently, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.1 to 1 in the 2023-2024 school year and per-student spending of $7,981 in the 2020-2021 school year. These factors suggest that the school may have the potential to improve its performance with the right strategies and support, particularly in leveraging its strengths in certain subject areas and grade levels.
