Summary

Redbud Run Elementary is a PK–5 school in Winchester, VA, serving about 614 students as part of Frederick County Public Schools. The school serves a high-poverty population: 72.8% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024-2025, up sharply from about 50% two years earlier. With a 13.9:1 student-teacher ratio, class sizes are slightly smaller than several nearby schools, and per-student spending of $11,763 is higher than most neighboring elementary schools.

Academically, Redbud Run ranks 950th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools — the 14th percentile — earning one star for 2025-2026. That makes it the lowest-ranked school among nearby Frederick County elementary schools, trailing Greenwood Mill Elementary (43rd percentile), Jordan Springs Elementary (35th), and Stonewall Elementary (25th). In nearly every subject, proficiency falls well below district and state averages. The biggest gaps are 5th grade science (39.8% proficient vs. 68.8% statewide) and Virginia Studies (43.0% vs. 74.4% statewide). Third grade reading is also concerning, dropping from 61.9% to 51.1% in one year. The one bright spot: 4th grade math jumped to 67.7%, matching the district average.

Redbud Run's challenges are significant, but not inevitable. The 13.5% chronic absenteeism rate is better than both the district (16.0%) and state (14.8%) averages, so missing school is not the main driver of low scores. English Language Learner students rank at the 30th percentile statewide — the school's strongest subgroup result — indicating language supports are a relative strength. Nearby comparisons are telling: Greenwood Mill Elementary, just 1.5 miles away, has far lower poverty (39.2% vs. 72.8%) and outperforms Redbud Run in every subject. Yet Frederick Douglass Elementary in Winchester has even higher poverty (83.0%) and ranks in the 59th percentile — proof that better outcomes are possible. The key takeaway is that Redbud Run has real obstacles, but attendance and ELL support provide a foundation to build on.
