Summary

Carysbrook Elementary in Fork Union, VA, is a mid-sized public school serving 457 students in grades 3 and 4 only, and is one of two elementary schools in Fluvanna County Public Schools, paired with Central Elementary for grades PK–2. The school currently ranks 644th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools (42nd percentile), placing it in the lower-middle range statewide. Rankings have fluctuated notably over time—from a high of 346th in 2017-18 to a low of 729th in 2024-25—with the most recent year showing an improvement of 85 spots.

One of Carysbrook's standout strengths is attendance. Its chronic absenteeism rate has fallen dramatically from 65% in 2020-21 to just 11.3% in 2024-25—well below the district rate of 25.3% and the state average of 14.8%. This is especially notable given that the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population (60.8% free-and-reduced-lunch). Academically, the school posts a 75.4% proficiency rate in 4th-grade Virginia Studies, above the state average of 70.5% and stronger than several nearby schools, though it trails Trevilians Elementary (90%) and Moss-Nuckols Elementary (79.6%). Carysbrook also spends the least per student ($10,157) among comparable regional schools—less than Trevilians ($10,919) and far below Mountain View Elementary ($19,014)—yet achieves results competitive with several schools that spend significantly more.

The school's main challenges are reading and math scores that sit slightly below state averages. In 3rd grade, math proficiency is 72.7% versus Virginia's 74.0%, and reading is 63.9% versus 67.6%. Subgroup rankings reveal uneven effectiveness: Hispanic students rank at the 59th percentile statewide, while disabled students (8th percentile) and multiracial students (5th percentile) lag considerably. Because Carysbrook serves only two grade levels, year-to-year scores can swing sharply with individual student cohorts—4th-grade Virginia Studies ranged from 81.2% to 51.6% and back to 75.4% over three years. Nearby schools like Trevilians Elementary, Sunrise Elementary, and Moss-Nuckols Elementary achieve stronger results with similar or even higher poverty levels, suggesting meaningful room for growth. Still, the school's recent improvement and outstanding attendance recovery offer encouraging signs for families.

I was concerned at first by the size of the school but realized it's very well run.The class size is around 22. The teachers are very involved with the children. All of my children's test score have increased since we moved into this district from NY. Close Quote
