Summary

Ridgeview Elementary is a public elementary school located in Clintwood, Virginia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 592 students. The school is part of the Dickenson County Public Schools district.

Ridgeview Elementary is a high-performing school, particularly in mathematics and reading, where students perform well above the state average across grades 3-5. For example, in 2024-2025, 81.45% of 3rd graders and 82.68% of 4th graders were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 72.89% and 72.98%, respectively. The school's performance in VA Studies for 4th grade is also strong, with 70.08% proficiency compared to the state average of 68.24%. However, Ridgeview's performance in science for 5th grade (43.75% proficiency) is significantly lower than the district (59.72%) and state (67.26%) averages.

Despite serving a predominantly low-income student population, with 93.58% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, Ridgeview's low-income students perform exceptionally well, ranking 210 out of 1,046 Virginia elementary schools in this subgroup for the 2024-2025 school year. The school has, however, struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.7% to 40.5% over the past two school years, which may be impacting its overall performance, especially in science.
