Summary

Woolridge Elementary is a PK-5 school in Midlothian, Virginia, serving 813 students as part of Chesterfield County Public Schools. The school earned a 5-star rating and is ranked 66th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools for 2025-2026, placing it in the 94th percentile statewide. That makes it the top-rated school in its immediate cluster, ahead of Winterpock Elementary, Alberta Smith Elementary, Moseley Elementary, and Grange Hall Elementary, all of which rank between the 85th and 90th percentiles.

Woolridge students average roughly 90% proficiency across all SOL subjects, compared with about 71% for both the district and the state. Every grade and subject tested outperformed those averages by double digits. Fourth-grade math stands out at 95.8% proficiency, and fourth-grade Virginia Studies reaches 92.8%, nearly 24 points above the district. The school also proved resilient: after a temporary dip to the 83rd percentile in 2023-2024, it rebounded strongly to the 94th percentile, showing that its high performance is consistent rather than a one-year fluke.

The school is notable for strong outcomes across student groups. African American students and students from low-income families both rank in the 98th percentile statewide, with the low-income group climbing from the 52nd percentile just two years earlier. Chronic absenteeism is just 7.4%, less than half the district rate of 16.1%, which likely supports academic success. Woolridge does all this while spending about $7,165 per student, less than several nearby schools with lower results. Areas for continued focus include serving students with disabilities and multi-racial students, and narrowing the gap between male and female student rankings.
