Summary:
The Colonial Beach Public Schools district in Virginia has only one elementary school, Colonial Beach Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has been mixed, with fluctuating statewide rankings and a below-average overall rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Colonial Beach Elementary's students perform above the state average in mathematics, particularly in 7th grade, but their reading proficiency is more variable, with 3rd-graders performing below the state average while 6th-graders excel. However, the school's science and Civics/Economics proficiency lags behind the state average. The school serves a high-poverty student population, with 84.96% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and its chronic absenteeism rate is higher than the state average.
Despite these challenges, Colonial Beach Elementary spends slightly less per student and has a higher student-teacher ratio compared to the state average. This resource constraint may be contributing to the school's mixed academic performance and the need for targeted interventions to improve student outcomes and better serve the community.
