Summary

Beaverdam Elementary in Beaverdam, VA, is a pre-K through 5th grade school serving 339 students in the rural community north of Richmond, and it is part of Hanover County Public Schools, a district ranked 27th out of 131 in Virginia (79th percentile). The school itself is more mid-tier than top-tier: in 2025-26 it ranked 525th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools (53rd percentile) with a 3-star rating. Over the past decade, its statewide percentile has oscillated between 53 and 66, with its best recent year in 2024-25 (66th percentile) followed by a pullback this year.

The school's students score slightly above the state average but below their own district's high bar: roughly 73% proficiency on SOL tests versus 78% for Hanover County and 72% for Virginia. Standout areas include 5th grade science (78.7% proficient), 4th grade math (81.0%), and 4th grade Virginia Studies (80.7%), all at or above district levels. The clearest warning signs are in the current 3rd grade cohort, where math proficiency fell to 64.1% from 87.0% the year before, and reading fell to 64.1% from 77.8%. The school's most distinctive feature, however, is its subgroup performance: economically disadvantaged students rank in the 78th percentile statewide (4 stars), a genuine bright spot, while girls (68th percentile) significantly outperform boys (37th percentile).

On non-academic measures, Beaverdam is solid. Chronic absenteeism is just 7.9%, well below the state average of 14.8% and close to Hanover's 6.9%. The school spends about $12,700 per student, more than most nearby schools, and serves a growing share of economically disadvantaged students (43.4% free/reduced lunch). Compared to its neighbors, Beaverdam sits right alongside South Anna Elementary (ranked 537th this year versus Beaverdam's 525th) and clearly outperforms higher-poverty schools such as Livingston Elementary (9th percentile) and Berkeley Elementary (33rd percentile). At the same time, Jouett Elementary in Louisa County shows that high poverty need not limit achievement — it serves 78% free/reduced lunch yet ranks in the 77th percentile. If Beaverdam can replicate its success with economically disadvantaged students across other groups, especially boys, its overall ranking has meaningful room to rise.
