Summary:
Keswick, Virginia, is served by exactly one public school: Stony Point Elementary, a PK-5 elementary school with 217 students within the Albemarle County Public Schools district. Since there are no middle or high schools listed in Keswick, this single elementary school represents the entire local public school landscape for families with young children.
Stony Point Elementary is a strong-performing school on an upward trajectory. It earned 4 stars for the 2025-2026 school year, up from 3 stars the previous two years, and its state rank improved dramatically from the 57th percentile (477 out of 1,110) in 2024-2025 to the 73rd percentile (305 out of 1,111) in 2025-2026. In 2025-2026, the school outperformed both district and state averages in 7 of 8 SOL test categories. The strongest results came in 5th grade, where Science proficiency reached 88.64% (roughly 20 points above the state average), and both Reading and Math topped 88%. The only subject below district and state averages was 4th-grade Mathematics at 68.57% proficient, a notable dip given the previous year's outstanding 4th-grade Math score of 92.5%.
Families may also find several non-test metrics reassuring. Chronic absenteeism is just 7.9%, far below the district rate of 11.8% and the state rate of 14.8%, and the school maintains a favorable 12.7:1 student-teacher ratio with per-student spending of $18,090. About 26.7% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch. One thing to keep in mind is that with only 217 students, grade-level cohorts are small, which can create large year-to-year swings — for example, 5th-grade VA Studies jumped from 41.38% proficient in 2024-2025 to 85.71% in 2025-2026. Overall, Stony Point Elementary is a well-resourced, above-average school with low absenteeism, though 4th-grade Math is worth monitoring.
