Summary

Rich Acres Elementary is a PK–5 elementary school in Martinsville, VA, serving 253 students as part of Henry County Public Schools. In the 2025–26 school year, it ranked 386th of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools, placing it in the 65th percentile with a 3-star rating—a strong showing for a school where essentially every student is economically disadvantaged.

Academically, Rich Acres is one of the top-performing elementary schools in the region. It exceeded both district and state averages in every tested subject and grade level last year, with mathematics a particular strength: 3rd grade math proficiency reached 87.2%, more than 13 points above the state average. Nearby, only Drewry Mason Elementary performs at a comparable level. The gap is even more striking when compared to the two Martinsville City schools—Albert Harris Elementary and Patrick Henry Elementary—which serve similarly high-poverty populations but post dramatically lower proficiency rates.

What truly sets Rich Acres apart is its effectiveness with students who are often underserved elsewhere. Its low-income students ranked in the 90th percentile statewide, Hispanic students ranked in the 94th percentile, and African American students ranked in the 81st percentile. Chronic absenteeism has fallen steadily to 10.6%, roughly half the district rate. With a favorable 13.3:1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending below several nearby schools, Rich Acres demonstrates that high-poverty schools can achieve well above average results when attendance and targeted instruction are priorities.
