Summary

Greenwood Elementary is a PK-5 school in Glen Allen, VA, serving 649 students in Henrico County Public Schools, and it stands out as a high-poverty school that consistently outperforms expectations. The school ranks in the 66th percentile statewide (381st out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools) with a 3-star rating, a remarkable achievement given that roughly 91% of its students qualify for free/reduced-price lunch. Over the past decade, Greenwood has typically landed between the 64th and 76th percentiles, with the only real dip occurring during the pandemic-disrupted 2020-21 school year before recovering and stabilizing.

Academically, Greenwood beats both district and state averages in nearly every subject. For example, 3rd grade reading proficiency sits at 86% — 23 points above the Henrico County average — and math scores also exceed state averages at every grade level. The school is particularly effective with English learners, whose outcomes have ranked in the 85th, 94th, and 98th percentiles statewide over the past three years. Among nearby schools with similar poverty levels, Greenwood is a clear outlier: Maude Trevvett Elementary ranks in the 53rd percentile, while R.C. Longan Elementary (27th), Lakeside Elementary (17th), Chamberlayne Elementary (9th), Elizabeth Holladay Elementary (8th), Longdale Elementary (5th), and Dumbarton Elementary (3rd) all lag far behind with nearly identical free/reduced-price lunch rates.

One of Greenwood's biggest differentiators is attendance: just 2.8% of students are chronically absent, compared to 14.1% districtwide and 14.8% statewide. The school also achieves these results while spending less per student ($9,954) than most surrounding schools — Elmont Elementary in Hanover County Public Schools spends about 48% more per pupil yet ranks in only the 46th percentile. The one area worth monitoring is 5th grade science, which has declined from 83% proficiency in 2022-23 to 68.5% in 2025-26, dipping slightly below the state average. Reading and math remain strong, so this may simply be a cohort effect, but it is something for parents to watch.
