Summary

Guy K. Stump Elementary is a PK-5 school in Stuarts Draft, Virginia, serving 457 students as part of Augusta County Public Schools. The school currently ranks in the middle of Virginia elementary schools, landing at the 43rd percentile with 2 stars. That ranking reflects a rocky few years: after a strong stretch from 2021-2023 when it sat in the 63rd-65th percentile, the school dropped to the 29th percentile in 2024-25 before recovering this year. A major demographic shift has coincided with those swings—the share of students eligible for free/reduced lunch jumped from about 43% in 2022-23 to nearly 67% today, meaning the school now serves many more families facing economic hardship.

Academically, there are clear bright spots. Third grade math proficiency hit 79.4%, above both the district and state averages, and 4th grade reading came in at 75.7%, also beating the averages. Fifth grade scores rebounded strongly this year after a tough 2024-25. The most persistent concern is 4th grade math, which has now lagged the state average for three straight years (63.0% vs. 73.3% most recently). Among nearby Augusta County schools, Guy K. Stump is currently the highest-ranked, ahead of Stuarts Draft Elementary, Riverheads Elementary, and Wilson Elementary.

Attendance is a genuine strength: just 11.5% of students are chronically absent, better than the district rate and every nearby Augusta County elementary. However, per-pupil spending is relatively low at about $8,072, and class sizes are larger than at higher-performing Staunton City Public Schools like Bessie Weller Elementary and Thomas C. McSwain Elementary, which serve higher poverty populations yet outperform Guy K. Stump. Additionally, while the overall ranking looks mid-tier, students from low-income households perform well below their statewide peers, suggesting targeted support could yield meaningful gains. The rebound this year is encouraging, but sustaining it—especially in 4th grade math—will require continued focus.
