Summary:
The King and Queen County Public Schools district in Virginia is home to two elementary schools: Lawson-Marriott Elementary and King & Queen Elementary. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade in this rural Virginia community.
Based on the available data, King & Queen Elementary appears to be the stronger performing school overall, with higher test scores across multiple subjects and grade levels compared to Lawson-Marriott Elementary and the district/state averages. For instance, in the 2024-2025 school year, 70.83% of 5th graders at King & Queen were proficient or better in Science, compared to 42.86% at Lawson-Marriott and 57.78% district-wide.
Both schools serve economically disadvantaged student populations, with over 95% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. However, Lawson-Marriott Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving this assistance at 95.71%, compared to 100.71% at King & Queen Elementary. Additionally, both schools have a chronic absenteeism rate of 15.7%, which is an area of concern that likely impacts student learning and achievement. Overall, the data suggests these schools face significant challenges in serving their high-poverty student populations, with King & Queen Elementary demonstrating stronger academic performance compared to Lawson-Marriott Elementary.
