Summary

Longdale Elementary is a PK–5 school in Glen Allen, VA, serving 476 students as part of Henrico County Public Schools in the Richmond area. The school has experienced a sharp decline in recent years, falling from the 19th percentile statewide in 2023–2024 to the 5th percentile in 2025–2026, placing it in the bottom 5% of Virginia elementary schools with a 0-star rating.

In every subject and grade level tested, Longdale's SOL proficiency rates fall well below district and state averages. For example, only 42% of 5th graders were proficient in math, compared to 70% for the district and 72% statewide. Third-grade reading proficiency sits at 40%, versus 63% for the district and 68% for the state. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 27.4% in 2021–2022 to 17.1% in 2024–2025, but remains above both the district rate of 14.1% and the state rate of 14.8%.

The most striking takeaway for parents is that similar schools nearby achieve much stronger results. Greenwood Elementary, just 1.7 miles away, serves nearly the same percentage of low-income students (about 91% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch) yet ranks in the 66th percentile statewide. Maude Trevvett Elementary, also nearby with similar poverty levels, ranks in the 53rd percentile. Longdale actually spends more per student ($11,699) than several higher-performing neighboring schools and maintains a lower student-teacher ratio of 13.6 to 1, suggesting the path forward lies in improving attendance, strengthening instruction, and targeting support — not in demographics alone.

We love Longdale!!!! We first found out about Longdale when our Exceptional Education student was transferring there, he now goes to Hermitage, I still have 2 enrolled there. They were the only indoor campus that offered his programs. The teachers and staff were so amazing, understanding, kind, caring, accepting and compassionate. I am not just talking about the Exceptional Ed teachers and aids it was the whole school. They all took the time to know my child and our family, with open welcoming arms, so much so that we decided to relocate into Longdales district so that all (5) of our children would attend there. With Longdale you will have that small town feel in a city/county setting. To them your child is not just another score on a testing form. The teachers, administration and staff go above and beyond. They work with your child's specific needs to obtain a plan that is going to allow them to excel and find their highest learning potential. There is no place I would want my kids go to school then Longdale!! Close Quote

Longdale is a wonderful school. The principal is friendly and fair. The teachers are knowledgeable and teach their students to excel in all academic areas. The teachers are consistently looking for new ways to teach the material, while still using time tested ways. They don't over test their students, but push their students to be successful in all areas! I am extremely pleased with Longdale Elementary School. Close Quote
