Summary

Bettie Weaver Elementary is a public school in Midlothian, VA, serving 605 students in grades PK–5 within Chesterfield County Public Schools. The school has established itself as a top performer in Virginia, earning a 5-star rating in 9 of the last 10 reported years and ranking 95th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools (91st percentile) in 2025-2026. Academic results are exceptionally strong, running roughly 15 to 20 percentage points above state averages in reading, math, science, and Virginia Studies. In 2025-2026, math proficiency ranged from 86.9% in 5th grade to 93.3% in 3rd grade, while reading proficiency sat between 87.9% and 89.5%.

Chronic absenteeism is remarkably low at 4.8% — about one-third the district rate of 16.1% and the state rate of 14.8%. This near-universal daily attendance has been consistent since 2020-2021 and likely helps drive the school's sustained achievement. Interestingly, Bettie Weaver spends less per student ($7,214 in 2023-2024) than every comparable nearby school while posting equal or better results. The student body is notably economically homogeneous, with just 3.8% of students qualifying for free/reduced-price lunch — a sharp contrast to nearby Greenfield Elementary (31.2%) and J.B. Fisher Elementary in Richmond (over 88%).

Bettie Weaver's decade-long consistency sets it apart even from high-performing peers like W.W. Gordon Elementary and J.B. Watkins Elementary, which have shown more year-to-year ranking variability. The school has ranked in the 91st–99th percentile every year except 2018-2019 and has never fallen below a 4-star rating. However, families may want to note two subgroup trends: effectiveness for disabled students dropped sharply from the 72nd percentile (4 stars) in 2023-2024 to the 47th percentile (2 stars) in 2025-2026, and female students statewide outrank male students (95th versus 86th percentile). While the overall picture is overwhelmingly positive, these areas are worth watching.
