Summary

Woodberry Hills Elementary is a K-5 school in Danville, VA, serving 377 students and operating within Danville City Public Schools, a district currently ranked in the bottom quarter of Virginia school divisions. The school serves a very high-poverty population, with more than 92% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, but it has shown meaningful academic momentum over the past two years.

Woodberry Hills has climbed from the 3rd percentile of Virginia elementary schools in 2023–2024 to the 19th percentile in 2025–2026, a gain of roughly 186 state ranking positions. The most dramatic improvement is in 3rd grade math, where proficiency jumped from 42% to 75% in two years—now essentially matching the state average and trailing only Forest Hills Elementary among nearby schools. Students from low-income families, who make up the vast majority of the school's population, have seen the school's ranking for that subgroup improve from the bottom 3% statewide to the 48th percentile. Chronic absenteeism has also fallen sharply, from 30.5% to 12.6%, which is now below the Virginia state average of 14.8% and a strong sign that more students are showing up ready to learn. The school also maintains a favorable 12.1:1 student-teacher ratio and spends over $13,000 per student, more than nearby schools in Pittsylvania County Public Schools like Twin Springs Elementary and Kentuck Elementary.

Challenges remain, particularly in upper-grade content areas. Fifth grade science proficiency sits at 41% and 4th grade Virginia Studies at 37%, both roughly 30 percentage points below the state average. Fifth grade reading also trails at 51%. Woodberry Hills still lags behind Forest Hills Elementary, a higher-performing Danville school just under two miles away, but its improvement trajectory is much steeper. The school now ranks ahead of Schoolfield Elementary and Edwin A. Gibson Elementary, and roughly ties Park Avenue Elementary. If the current momentum in early grades and attendance holds, Woodberry Hills is a turnaround story worth watching.
