Elementary Schools in Carroll County Public Schools

Summary:

The Carroll County Public Schools district in Virginia is home to 7 elementary schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the district faces some challenges, such as high rates of chronic absenteeism and students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, a few schools stand out for their exceptional academic performance.

Fancy Gap Elementary and Gladesboro Elementary are consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in Virginia, with Fancy Gap earning a 4-star rating and Gladesboro earning a rare 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. These schools excel in mathematics and reading, with proficiency rates often exceeding 80% and 100%, respectively, for 3rd-5th graders.

While the district as a whole faces socioeconomic challenges, with all schools having very high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the data suggests opportunities for the district to learn from its top-performing schools and implement best practices to raise achievement levels more consistently across all schools. Addressing chronic absenteeism and supporting students from low-income backgrounds could also be key focus areas for the district moving forward.
