Summary

Thomas Jefferson Elementary is a public elementary school in Louisa, Virginia, serving 648 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Louisa County Public Schools district, which is ranked 6th out of 129 school districts in the state and has a 5-star rating.

Thomas Jefferson Elementary has consistently ranked in the top 50% of Virginia elementary schools, with strong academic performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests. In the 2024-2025 school year, 93.1% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in SOL Mathematics, compared to 84.39% for the Louisa County Public Schools district and 71.56% for the state of Virginia. The school outperforms the other Louisa County elementary schools, Jouett Elementary and Trevilians Elementary, in overall state ranking and academic performance.

While Thomas Jefferson Elementary has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 89.04% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school has strong performance among its African American and low socioeconomic status student subgroups. However, the school's performance for its multi-racial student subgroup is an area of concern. The school's per-student spending of $10,895 in the 2020-2021 school year is higher than the state average, which may contribute to its academic success, though the student-teacher ratio of 20.2 in the 2023-2024 school year is slightly higher than nearby schools.
