Summary:
Moseley, Virginia is served by two public elementary schools within Chesterfield County Public Schools, both spanning grades PK–5: Moseley Elementary and Grange Hall Elementary. With no middle or high schools in the immediate area, this summary focuses entirely on elementary-level academics, attendance, and resources. The district holds a moderate state ranking—73rd out of 131 districts—yet both schools vastly outperform that benchmark, making them notable academic outliers within Chesterfield County.
Moseley Elementary is the consistency standout. It has ranked in the top 15% of Virginia elementary schools for three consecutive years, earning a 4-star rating each time. In 2025–2026, it placed 147th out of 1,111 schools with an 87.7% average SOL proficiency while posting the area's lowest chronic absenteeism rate (7.0%), lowest free/reduced lunch rate (8.33%), and highest per-pupil spending ($7,686). Grange Hall Elementary, meanwhile, is the high-ceiling standout. It reached a 5-star rating and 75th place statewide in 2024–2025—outperforming Moseley that year—before slipping to 169th in 2025–2026. That decline was driven largely by a 16.6-point drop in 3rd-grade reading, yet its 85.8% proficiency average remains far above district and state norms.
Both schools exceed the district (71.3%) and state (71.6%) proficiency averages by roughly 14–16 percentage points. Moseley holds a clear math advantage, outperforming Grange Hall in every grade-level math test in 2025–2026, with an overall math average of 91.7%. However, Moseley's reading scores decline as students advance, falling from 92.8% in 3rd grade to 79.3% in 5th grade. Grange Hall has proven more volatile—its state rank swung from 316th to 75th to 169th across three years—but it has demonstrated elite potential. For parents, Moseley represents the safer, more consistent choice, while Grange Hall offers a higher peak but more year-to-year variability. Together, they provide strong elementary options in Moseley.
