Summary

Arthur Ashe Junior Elementary is a PK-5 school in Richmond, VA serving 425 students in Henrico County Public Schools, where about 89% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch. The school has experienced significant ups and downs in recent years. After reaching the 45th percentile among Virginia elementary schools in 2016-2017, it spent several years in the bottom 10-20% before improving to the 26th and 30th percentiles in 2023-2024 and 2024-2025. However, the most recent 2025-2026 ranking dropped to the 14th percentile.

Despite the overall low ranking, Arthur Ashe has some clear strengths. Fourth grade math stands out with 64.52% proficiency — higher than every nearby Henrico elementary school, including Harvie Elementary (57.14%) and Glen Lea Elementary (39.53%). Fifth grade reading is also relatively strong at 66.13%, close to the district average of 68.86%. The clearest challenge is 3rd grade reading, where only 41.27% of students are proficient, about 21 points below the district average. Within its immediate neighborhood, Arthur Ashe ranks above Glen Lea, Highland Springs Elementary, and Harold Macon Ratcliffe Elementary, but trails Harvie Elementary, a school less than a mile away with very similar demographics.

There are other positive signs. Chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 24.4% in 2021-2022 to 15.2% in 2024-2025 — better than many nearby high-poverty schools like Glen Lea (28.5%) and Highland Springs (28.9%). The school also has a low student-teacher ratio of 11.8 to 1, lower than every nearby Henrico elementary school, and per-student funding has risen to $11,438. The biggest concern is volatility; scores can swing sharply from year to year, likely due in part to small grade-level cohorts. Parents should know that Arthur Ashe is a school with real pockets of strength, especially in 4th grade math and 5th grade reading, but early-grade reading remains a key area needing attention.
