Summary

Kegotank Elementary is a public elementary school located in Mappsville, Virginia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 455 students. It is part of the Accomack County Public Schools district, which is ranked 84 out of 129 school districts in Virginia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kegotank Elementary has consistently struggled academically, ranking in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools over the past 5-6 years. The school's performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests is significantly below the Accomack County and Virginia state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Kegotank's 3rd grade math proficiency was 54.32% compared to the Accomack County average of 56.35% and the Virginia average of 72.89%. The school also has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years, and a higher proportion of minority students compared to their white peers.

In contrast, the nearby Pungoteague Elementary, Accawmacke Elementary, and Chincoteague Elementary schools generally perform better academically, with higher SOL test scores and better overall rankings. These schools also have lower rates of chronic absenteeism and more favorable student-teacher ratios, suggesting they may have access to more resources and support. Addressing the challenges faced by Kegotank Elementary will likely require a comprehensive approach, including targeted academic interventions, increased resources and support for students and families, and collaboration with the broader community.
