Summary

Providence Elementary is a public elementary school located in North Chesterfield, Virginia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 641 students. It is part of the Chesterfield County Public Schools district, which is ranked 71 out of 129 school districts in Virginia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Providence Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 772 and 866 out of around 1,100 schools. It has maintained a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger during this time period. The school's test scores in mathematics, reading, science, and social studies are consistently lower than the Chesterfield County Public Schools district average and the state of Virginia average across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in mathematics at Providence Elementary was 59.09%, compared to 72.77% for the district and 72.89% for the state. Providence Elementary also has high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 15.4% to 20.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the typical chronic absenteeism rate of around 15% for the district and state.

When comparing Providence Elementary to the nearby schools in the Chesterfield County Public Schools district, it becomes clear that Providence is an underperforming school. Schools like J.B. Watkins Elementary, W.W. Gordon Elementary, and Swift Creek Elementary consistently outperform Providence Elementary on standardized tests, have lower chronic absenteeism rates, and serve a lower percentage of students from low-income families. These findings suggest that Providence Elementary may need to implement targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges facing its student population and improve academic outcomes.
