Summary

Eastern Elementary/Middle is a public elementary school located in Pembroke, VA, serving grades PK-7 with a student population of 459. The school is part of the Giles County Public Schools district, which is ranked 81 out of 129 districts in Virginia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eastern Elementary/Middle consistently outperforms the Giles County Public Schools district and the state of Virginia in mathematics and reading proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, 76.47% of 3rd graders at Eastern Elementary/Middle were proficient or better in SOL/Mathematics, compared to 60.42% for the district and 72.89% for the state. The school also performs well in science, with 83.33% of 5th graders proficient or better in SOL/Science in 2024-2025, compared to 60.07% for the district and 68.94% for the state. However, the school struggles with the performance of white students, ranking in the bottom quartile of Virginia elementary schools for this subgroup.

Eastern Elementary/Middle generally outperforms the nearby Narrows Elementary/Middle and Macy Mcclaugherty Elementary/Middle schools, which are also part of the Giles County Public Schools district. But the school lags behind some of the higher-performing elementary schools in the Montgomery County Public Schools district, such as Harding Avenue Elementary and Kipps Elementary. The school's performance with white students and chronic absenteeism rates indicate areas that may require additional attention and targeted interventions.
