Summary

Glen Allen Elementary is a PK–5 school in Glen Allen, Virginia, serving 578 students in Henrico County Public Schools, and it stands out as one of the district's top performers. For 2025–2026, the school ranks 184th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools, placing it in the 83rd percentile with a 4-star rating. Academic proficiency is consistently well above district and state averages across every subject and grade — 3rd grade math is 90.5% proficient versus 66.2% for the district and 74.0% statewide, and 5th grade reading is 87.1% proficient versus 68.9% for the district and 72.4% statewide. No tested subject falls below roughly 80% proficiency.

Attendance and economics help tell the story. Only 6.1% of Glen Allen students are chronically absent, compared to 14.1% for the district and 14.8% statewide, and just 23.0% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. This is a sharp contrast to nearby Longdale Elementary (89.3% free/reduced lunch) and Dumbarton Elementary (90.2%), where 3rd grade math proficiency is 42.5% and 45.0%, respectively, versus Glen Allen's 90.5%. Glen Allen also outperforms Elmont Elementary of Hanover County Public Schools in most subjects, despite Elmont spending over $14,000 per student compared to Glen Allen's $10,653.

That said, Glen Allen sits a tier below the very best schools in its immediate area. Rivers Edge Elementary (98th percentile), Twin Hickory Elementary (91st), and Echo Lake Elementary (89th) all rank higher, with 5th grade math scores a few points ahead in some cases. Glen Allen has recovered well from a pandemic-era dip — it was ranked 357th in 2020–2021 but is now back in the 83rd percentile, though still below its pre-pandemic peak of 95th. Results are particularly strong for African American and female students, while White, Asian, and low-income students, while still performing well in absolute terms, show more moderate relative rankings. Overall, Glen Allen offers a consistently strong, well-rounded education with a stable attendance culture and a clear academic edge over most schools in the region.
