Summary

Elmont Elementary is a PK–5 school in Ashland, Virginia, serving 383 students in Hanover County Public Schools. The school's biggest strengths are easy to spot: an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 5.9% (far below the state average of 14.8%), a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.3:1, and high per-pupil spending of $14,720 — well above what nearby schools invest. Math is clearly a bright spot, with 3rd and 4th grade proficiency rates (82.2% and 81.5%) exceeding both district and state averages.

Reading is where Elmont struggles most. Average reading proficiency across 3rd–5th grade is about 66%, below the Hanover district average in every grade. The 4th grade reading score took a particularly sharp drop to 61.5% — down from 77.4% the year before — and 4th grade VA Studies also came in well below the district average. Even Ashland Elementary, a nearby Hanover school with a higher poverty rate, surpasses Elmont in 4th grade reading (71.3% vs. 61.5%). This suggests 4th grade is a transition point where students lose ground in literacy and humanities.

Elmont outperforms the weakest nearby schools by wide margins — Longdale Elementary, Dumbarton Elementary, and R.C. Longan Elementary all trail Elmont in both math and reading, and their chronic absenteeism rates are roughly double Elmont's. However, several higher-poverty schools nearby post stronger reading results, including Greenwood Elementary (82.2% reading), Springfield Park Elementary (77.0%), and Maude Trevvett Elementary (72.0%). Elmont's statewide rank has also drifted downward, from the 70th percentile in 2020–21 to the 46th percentile in 2025–26. Despite spending more per student than nearby high-performing schools like Echo Lake Elementary and Rivers Edge Elementary, Elmont has not yet converted its resource advantage into top-tier academic outcomes.
