Summary

Echo Lake Elementary is a PK–5 school in Glen Allen, VA, serving 506 students as part of Henrico County Public Schools. For the 2025–2026 school year, it ranks 118th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools — placing it in the 89th percentile with a 4-star rating, making it one of the top-performing elementary schools in the Richmond/Glen Allen area. What makes this especially notable is that its own district is rated only 2 stars and sits in the 31st percentile statewide, so Echo Lake's performance stands out sharply from its district context. Families looking only at the district rating would easily underestimate this school.

Academically, Echo Lake outperforms its district and state by a wide margin. On the seven SOL tests reported for 2025–2026, the school's average proficiency rate is approximately 87.8%, compared to about 67.1% for the district and 71.7% for the state — a roughly 20-point advantage over its own district that has held steady for the past four years. Attendance is another major strength. Echo Lake's chronic absenteeism rate is just 3.9%, far below the district's 14.1% and the state's 14.8%. Among nearby high-performing schools, only Greenwood Elementary has a lower rate (2.8%), but Greenwood's academic ranking is significantly lower. Among 11 nearby elementary schools, Echo Lake ranks third overall, behind only Rivers Edge Elementary and Twin Hickory Elementary.

Echo Lake also delivers notably strong results for economically disadvantaged students, with low-income students ranking in the 91st percentile statewide in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. Importantly, this success isn't explained by extra spending or unusually small classes — its per-student spending of $10,604 and student-teacher ratio of 15.5:1 are similar to nearby schools that perform much worse. Glen Allen Elementary, for example, has a lower poverty rate than Echo Lake yet ranks lower. The school's only real dip came during the pandemic, when it fell to the 68th percentile in 2020–2021, but it quickly recovered and has remained in the 89th–93rd percentile range ever since. For families considering the Glen Allen area, Echo Lake combines strong academics, excellent attendance, and a proven track record of supporting students who face additional challenges.
