Summary

Ettrick Elementary is a public elementary school in Ettrick, Virginia, serving 514 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Chesterfield County Public Schools district, which is ranked 71 out of 129 districts in the state.

Ettrick Elementary has had a mixed performance history, with its statewide ranking ranging from 606 out of 1,110 Virginia elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year to 1,031 out of 1,096 in the 2015-2016 school year. The school's academic proficiency rates in math and reading are generally lower than the Chesterfield County and Virginia state averages, particularly in the earlier grades. However, the school's performance for African American students and economically disadvantaged students is relatively stronger compared to their peers statewide, suggesting the school may be providing additional support for these subgroups.

Ettrick Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 15.6% to 20.8% in recent years, which is much higher than the state and district averages. The school's per-student spending has been relatively consistent, and it has a lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools like Harrowgate Elementary and Matoaca Elementary, which have higher academic proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and building on the school's relative strengths in supporting its African American and economically disadvantaged students could be valuable strategies to improve Ettrick Elementary's overall educational outcomes.

Great teachers, school is older but could be made to look nice. Lunchroom looks like an inter city school(ceiling tiles), chairs in officer are dirty could use a good cleaning, over all you feel like you are in a city school instead of a county school, to many kids that don't live in the county go to school at Ettrick that needs to get looked into.
