Summary

Stanleytown Elementary is a small PK–5 school in Stanleytown, VA, serving about 250 students as part of Henry County Public Schools. Almost all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the school ranks at the 30th percentile statewide (2 out of 5 stars) — a modest improvement from last year's 22nd percentile, though still below its pre-pandemic rank in the 53rd percentile. The school spends $11,668 per student, among the highest in the district, and keeps a favorable 12.1:1 student-teacher ratio.

Despite the modest overall ranking, there are clear bright spots. Low-income students at Stanleytown ranked in the 56th percentile statewide in 2025–2026, up sharply from the 32nd percentile the year before. Fifth grade is another standout: 77.5% of 5th graders met math standards and 72.5% met reading standards, both slightly above state averages and well above the district. That's a substantial jump from the previous year, when only about half of 5th graders were proficient. If the approaches used in 5th grade could be applied to 3rd and 4th grade, the school could see a significant boost in its overall performance.

The biggest challenges are in 3rd and 4th grade, where proficiency rates trail the district and state by wide margins. For example, only 63.9% of 3rd graders met math benchmarks, compared with 78.2% across the district. Nearby schools serving very similar student populations are seeing stronger outcomes: Drewry Mason Elementary ranks in the 69th percentile (3 stars) and Rich Acres Elementary in the 65th percentile (3 stars), while spending less per student than Stanleytown. Chronic absenteeism (17.6%) has improved but remains higher than at those schools. Improving 3rd and 4th grade achievement and closing the attendance gap appear to be the most promising paths forward.
