Summary:
The city of Mattaponi, Virginia has only one public school, King & Queen Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school is part of the King and Queen County Public Schools district, which is ranked 104 out of 129 districts in Virginia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
King & Queen Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools, with a ranking of 894 out of 1,110 schools in the 2024-2025 school year and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on state assessments (SOL tests) is generally below the state and district averages, though it has seen some exceptions, such as higher 5th-grade math and reading proficiency rates in 2024-2025. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 15.7% in the 2023-2024 school year and a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 100.71% in the same year.
Despite these challenges, the school has a student-teacher ratio of 19.3 to 1 in the 2023-2024 school year, which is within a typical range for elementary schools. However, the school's per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $6,816, which is below the state average, potentially limiting the resources available to support student learning and address the school's challenges.
