Summary

Greenwood Mill Elementary is a PK–5 public school in Winchester, Virginia, serving 599 students in the Frederick County Public Schools district. The school has shown steady improvement over the past three years, climbing from the 31st percentile statewide in 2023-2024 to the 43rd percentile in 2025-2026 — a mid-range ranking that ties with Armel Elementary as the highest among nearby Frederick County elementary schools.

Academically, Greenwood Mill outperforms its district average in every subject and grade level tested. Third graders are particularly strong, with math and reading proficiency rates above state averages. However, the school shows an upper-elementary slide: by 5th grade, scores fall slightly below state averages in math, reading, and science. The school is notably resource-efficient, spending just $9,672 per student — less than any comparable nearby school — while achieving better results than several higher-spending peers. For context, Frederick Douglass Elementary in Winchester City spends nearly $17,000 per student and ranks in the 59th percentile, while Redbud Run Elementary spends about $11,763 and ranks in the 14th percentile. Chronic absenteeism at Greenwood Mill is just 12.4%, well below the district rate of 16.0% and the state rate of 14.8%.

The school's overall numbers mask significant equity gaps. Female students perform at the 54th percentile, while male students sit at the 32nd. Students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds rank at the 16th percentile, and Hispanic students at the 3rd percentile — a sharp drop from prior years. These gaps suggest that while the school is moving in the right direction overall, its recent gains have not been evenly shared. Addressing these disparities, along with the upper-grade slide, would be the most impactful next step for Greenwood Mill to build on its positive trajectory and move from the middle of the pack into the upper tier of Virginia elementary schools.
