Summary

Kegotank Elementary is a PK–5 elementary school in Mappsville, VA, serving 501 students—the largest of the nearby Accomack County elementary schools—as part of Accomack County Public Schools. The school serves an almost entirely low-income population, with 98% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. After several very difficult years, the school is beginning to rebound: its statewide ranking improved from the 5th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 18th percentile in 2025-2026, though it still ranks in the bottom fifth of Virginia elementary schools.

The most encouraging news is in 3rd grade. Kegotank's 3rd graders scored at or near the state average in both reading (66.7% proficient vs. 67.6% statewide) and math (74.6% vs. 74.0%). English Learner students are also a standout group, ranking in the 69th percentile statewide—a genuine strength. However, these gains tend to fade by 4th and 5th grade. Math proficiency falls to 58.3% in 4th grade and 58.4% in 5th grade, well below state averages, and 5th grade reading sits at 55.8% (state: 72.4%). The 4th grade VA Studies score of 48.8% is the weakest in the comparison, trailing the next closest school by roughly 24 percentage points.

Chronic absenteeism is likely a major factor. At 20.2%, Kegotank's rate is double the district average (10.1%) and the highest among nearby schools, compared with 7.0% at Metompkin Elementary and 8.4% at Pungoteague Elementary. With one in five students chronically absent, improving attendance could be one of the school's highest-leverage strategies. Kegotank spends $11,028 per student, in line with peers, and its student-teacher ratio of 14.3 is typical for the district. Nearby schools like Pungoteague and Chincoteague Elementary achieve stronger results while serving similarly high-poverty populations, which suggests Kegotank has room to grow—especially in the upper grades.
