Summary

Evergreen Elementary is a PK–5 public school in Midlothian, Virginia, a suburb southwest of Richmond, serving 797 students as part of Chesterfield County Public Schools. While the school has some genuine strengths, it consistently ranks below most of its immediate neighbors—sitting at the 40th percentile statewide in 2025–2026, with an average SOL proficiency of about 69%.

Perhaps the most striking finding for parents is the contrast with nearby schools. In the same school year, W.W. Gordon Elementary ranked at the 96th percentile, Woolridge Elementary at the 94th, and J.B. Watkins Elementary at the 93rd. Even Clover Hill Elementary, which serves nearly the exact same percentage of students from low-income families (32.8% vs. 32.9%), ranks 24 percentile points higher. Evergreen also spends more per student ($8,653) and has smaller classes (13.1:1) than most of those higher-performing schools, so the gap isn't about a lack of resources. The data also shows a notable 4th grade dip: math proficiency falls to 60.5% in 4th grade (the lowest in the nearby cluster) after a strong 79.6% showing in 3rd grade, then partially recovers in 5th grade.

The school does have bright spots worth acknowledging. Hispanic students and English Language Learners perform relatively well (62nd and 64th percentiles statewide), and chronic absenteeism has improved to 11.6%, better than the district average. Still, the overall pattern is of a school underperforming relative to its zip code, surrounded by high-achieving elementary schools with similar or lower poverty rates and similar or lower funding. For parents weighing school options in the Midlothian area, Evergreen's inconsistent results—especially the 4th grade transition—are worth understanding and asking about.

Open Quote For the most part we have had great teachers. The "office" (principals) part of the school has been less than desirable.........very difficult to speak to anyone. Our children have been in other schools and I can truly say this school does not compare! Close Quote
