Summary

Broadus Wood Elementary in Earlysville, Virginia, is a small neighborhood school serving 282 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of Albemarle County Public Schools, earning a 4-star rating and ranking 181st out of 1,111 elementary schools statewide in 2025–2026.

Academically, Broadus Wood exceeds both district and state proficiency rates in every tested grade and subject. Fifth graders posted a 94.1% proficiency rate in both math and science — roughly 20 to 25 percentage points above the state average — and reading proficiency reached 91.2%. Lower grades are strong as well, with 3rd grade math at 89.4% and reading at 85.1%. The school also serves its students well across subgroups: male students rank in the 91st percentile statewide and female students in the 77th percentile. Among nearby schools, only Ivy Elementary ranks higher in Virginia, while Broadus Wood outranks Stony Point Elementary, Hollymead Elementary, and Baker-Butler Elementary.

Beyond test scores, Broadus Wood stands out for its resources and improving attendance. Chronic absenteeism has fallen dramatically from 17.7% in 2022–2023 to just 7.3% in 2024–2025 — about half the state average. The school spends $15,881 per student and maintains a favorable 12.6-to-1 student-teacher ratio, with higher per-student spending and smaller class sizes than several neighboring schools. Approximately 17.7% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a relatively low level of economic disadvantage. The school's state ranking has climbed steadily over the past decade, and while its small size creates some year-to-year fluctuation between cohorts, the long-term trajectory is clearly positive for families considering this school.
