Summary

Windsor Elementary is a PK–5 elementary school in Windsor, VA, serving 624 students as part of Isle of Wight County Public Schools, a district ranked 14th out of 131 in Virginia. The school itself ranks 374th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools — the 66th percentile, earning a 3-star rating. Windsor serves a higher-than-average-poverty population, with 72% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, yet maintains favorable resources: a 13.6 student–teacher ratio and $10,867 per-pupil spending, both better than many neighboring schools.

Windsor's strongest subjects are math and 5th-grade science. In 2025–2026, 3rd-grade math proficiency hit 88.24%, well above the state's 74.04%, and 5th-grade science jumped 19 points in a single year to 85% — the highest among nearby schools, including Carrsville Elementary (82%), Southwestern Elementary (81.48%), and Oakland Elementary (79.1%). The school also exceeds state averages in reading at every grade level. The one soft spot is 4th grade, where math (76.36%) and reading (77.27%) fall slightly below district averages. Among nearby schools, Windsor ranks just behind Carrsville Elementary and Oakland Elementary, and ahead of Hardy Elementary, Nansemond Parkway Elementary, Kilby Shores Elementary, Mack Benn Junior Elementary, Hillpoint Elementary, and Elephant's Fork Elementary.

What truly sets Windsor apart is its attendance record and subgroup outcomes. Chronic absenteeism is just 11.2% — below the district's 12.7% and the state's 14.8% — even as the school's poverty rate has climbed sharply in recent years. Economically disadvantaged students rank in the 81st percentile statewide, well above the school's overall 66th-percentile rank. Military-connected students also excelled, ranking 12th out of 206 schools statewide (94th percentile). Compared to a similar Suffolk school like Elephant's Fork Elementary — which has a comparable poverty rate but a 21.2% chronic absenteeism rate, an 18.1 student–teacher ratio, and a rank of 877th — Windsor's combination of low absenteeism, smaller class sizes, and strong academics shows its support systems are working well for the students who need them most.
