Summary

Huddleston Elementary is a public elementary school located in Huddleston, Virginia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 223 students. The school is part of the Bedford County Public Schools district, which is ranked 43 out of 129 school districts in Virginia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Huddleston Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools, with lower performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests compared to the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics and English reading. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd-grade mathematics proficiency rate was 78.79%, compared to 75.23% for the Bedford County Public Schools district and 72.89% for the state of Virginia. The school also experiences high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 12.0% to 19.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, Huddleston Elementary's academic performance is generally lower than the nearby Thomas Jefferson Elementary, Otter River Elementary, and Moneta Elementary, which all have higher rankings and better test scores. However, Huddleston Elementary's student demographics, with a higher percentage of low-income students, differ from these nearby schools. The school's higher spending per student, which has increased from $7,424 in 2018-2019 to $11,599 in 2020-2021, suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes.
