Summary

Leesville Road Elementary serves 646 students in grades PK-5 in Lynchburg, VA, and is part of Campbell County Public Schools. The school educates a predominantly low-income student body — nearly 79% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch — yet it consistently posts academic results that meet or beat both district and state averages. In 2025-26, Leesville Road ranked in the 62nd percentile statewide, placing it above its district's overall standing and making it the highest-ranked Campbell County elementary school in its immediate area. It outperformed nearby Tomahawk Elementary and Yellow Branch Elementary — schools with nearly identical poverty rates — by double digits in several subjects, including 5th-grade math, 5th-grade reading, and science.

One of the school's most notable strengths is attendance: chronic absenteeism was just 7.8% in 2024-25, far below the state average of 14.8% and dramatically lower than nearby Lynchburg City schools like Perrymont Elementary, which has a chronic absenteeism rate above 33%. The school also earns strong marks for specific student groups — its African American students rank in the 92nd percentile statewide and its low-income students rank in the 72nd percentile, both improvements over recent years. This reflects broad-based success across the student body.

The main areas to watch are 3rd-grade reading, which has swung between 58% and 79% proficiency over the past three years, and 5th-grade science, which has declined from nearly 90% proficiency in 2022-23 to 71% in 2025-26. The school has also slipped from a solid 4-star, upper-quartile ranking several years ago to its current 3-star standing, though test scores remain above state averages. On balance, Leesville Road is delivering results that look more like the affluent Bedford County Public Schools nearby than the higher-poverty Lynchburg City Public Schools, making it a standout option in a very mixed local landscape.
