Summary

Enderly Heights Elementary is a public elementary school located in Buena Vista, Virginia, serving grades 2-5 with a total enrollment of 247 students. The school is part of the Buena Vista City Public Schools district, which is ranked 36 out of 129 districts in Virginia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Enderly Heights Elementary has shown mixed academic performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 493 to 618 out of 1,109-1,114 Virginia elementary schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school outperformed the district and state in several subject areas, including Mathematics for grades 3-5, English Reading for grades 3-4, and VA Studies for grade 4. However, the school's performance in English Reading for 5th grade has been consistently lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, Enderly Heights Elementary has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10.7% to 26.4% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the school's ranking for low socioeconomic status students is higher than its overall ranking, indicating that the school is performing relatively well for this student subgroup. However, the school has seen a decrease in per-student spending, from $9,118 in 2018-2019 to $6,814 in 2020-2021, and an increase in student-teacher ratio from 14.9 in 2022-2023 to 11.7 in 2023-2024, suggesting potential budgetary constraints. When compared to nearby schools, such as F.W. Kling Junior Elementary, Enderly Heights Elementary's performance is generally on par or slightly better, but it lags behind schools in other districts, such as Boonsboro Elementary and Harrington Waddell Elementary.
