Summary

King & Queen Elementary is a public elementary school located in Mattaponi, Virginia, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 281 students. The school is part of the King and Queen County Public Schools district, which is ranked 104 out of 129 districts in the state.

Academically, King & Queen Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools, with proficiency rates in mathematics and reading significantly below the state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates were 45.83% in mathematics and 33.33% in reading, compared to the state averages of 72.89% and 66.93%, respectively. Nearby schools like George W. Watkins Elementary and Bethel Elementary have much higher proficiency rates, often exceeding 80%.

The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100.71% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its academic performance. However, the school's performance for this subgroup is relatively better than the overall school performance. Additionally, King & Queen Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.2% to 19.3% over the past few years, which is notably higher than nearby schools. The school's lower per-student spending and higher student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools may also be contributing to these challenges.
