Summary:

The city of Saint Charles, Virginia has only one school, St. Charles Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 4th grade. The school is part of the Lee County Public Schools district.

St. Charles Elementary has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 127th out of 1,114 Virginia elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 354th out of 1,114 in 2022-2023, before improving to 239th out of 1,110 for the 2024-2025 school year. The school's academic performance is strong, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in various SOL test subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd and 4th-grade students achieved proficiency rates of 75% and 80.95% in Mathematics, compared to the district's 66.99% and the state's 72.89% and 72.98%.

Despite the school's academic success, it faces socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 77.48% in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.6 and per-student spending of $9,454 in the 2020-2021 school year suggest that resources are being allocated to support the students' educational needs. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 15.7% in the 2023-2024 school year is an area that could benefit from further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student attendance and engagement.
