Summary

Beaverdam Elementary is a public elementary school in Beaverdam, Virginia, serving 311 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Hanover County Public Schools district, which is ranked 16 out of 129 school districts in Virginia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Beaverdam Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in SOL (Standards of Learning) test scores across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Beaverdam's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 87.04%, compared to the state average of 72.89%. The school's performance is also strong compared to the Hanover County Public Schools district, with Beaverdam often exceeding the district's average scores. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.5% in 2022-2023 to 15.7% in 2023-2024, which is an area of concern.

Beaverdam Elementary's academic performance is generally stronger than the nearby Henry Clay Elementary and John M. Gandy Elementary schools in the Hanover County Public Schools district. But it lags behind some high-performing schools in other districts, such as Shady Grove Elementary and David A. Kaechele Elementary, which are part of the Henrico County Public Schools district.
