Summary

Three Chopt Elementary is a PK–5 school in Richmond, VA serving 306 students in Henrico County Public Schools, and it stands out as one of the highest-performing elementary schools in the area despite serving a student body where 90.2% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. For the 2025–2026 school year, the school ranks in the 75th percentile statewide (280th of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools) with approximately 83% SOL proficiency in math, reading, and science across grades 3–5. That is well above the district average of roughly 67% and the state average of 72%. In fact, every single SOL test result at Three Chopt exceeded both district and state proficiency rates in 2025–2026, including 5th-grade math and reading, both at 90.6%.

The comparison with nearby schools makes Three Chopt's achievement even more striking. Schools with nearly identical poverty levels — Ridge Elementary, Skipwith Elementary, Dumbarton Elementary, and Charles M. Johnson Elementary, all with roughly 88–90% free/reduced lunch eligibility — rank in the 2nd, 12th, 3rd, and 5th percentiles statewide, respectively. Three Chopt outperforms these schools by 28 to 43 percentage points in combined proficiency. Meanwhile, the two more affluent schools nearby, Tuckahoe Elementary (93% proficiency, 97th percentile) and Pemberton Elementary (90% proficiency, 93rd percentile), post slightly higher scores — but given Three Chopt's dramatically higher economic disadvantage, its 83% proficiency rate is arguably just as impressive.

Three Chopt also benefits from strong attendance and resource allocation. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 11.8% is below district (14.1%) and state (14.8%) averages and far better than peer schools like Skipwith Elementary (17.5%) and Charles M. Johnson Elementary (17.3%). The school's 12.7:1 student-teacher ratio is among the lowest in the area, and per-pupil spending of $12,337 exceeds most nearby schools. Rankings have stayed in the top quartile for most of the past decade. One trend worth monitoring: the low-socioeconomic-status subgroup ranking dipped from the 72nd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 48th percentile in 2024–2025, so maintaining support for economically disadvantaged students will be key to preserving the school's standout performance.

I have 2 kids at Three Chopt Elementary, and I LOVE the school so much. I feel like everyone there actually cares about every single kid. The school offers a wide range of economic and cultural diversity as well, which is a HUGE plus in my book. Close Quote

My kids both attend Three Chopt, and it is an excellent school! It is exactly how you would imagine a "neighborhood" school to be. The class sizes are generally small, (16-20 per class) and the administration know all of the kids by name. I wouldn't want to send my kids anywhere else! Close Quote
