Summary:

The city of Ruther Glen, Virginia is home to two elementary schools: Lewis and Clark Elementary and Madison Elementary. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and are part of the Caroline County Public Schools district.

Based on the available data, Lewis and Clark Elementary appears to be the standout school in the area. It consistently outperforms the district and state averages on various subject tests, ranking in the top half of Virginia elementary schools. In contrast, Madison Elementary lags behind, with lower test scores compared to the district and state. Both schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.

While Lewis and Clark Elementary spends slightly less per student ($7,016) compared to Madison Elementary ($7,913), it has a higher student-teacher ratio of 17.5, compared to 15.3 at Madison Elementary. This suggests that the differences in performance may be attributed to factors beyond just funding and staffing levels.
