Summary

Perrymont Elementary is a public elementary school in Lynchburg, Virginia, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 357. The school is part of the Lynchburg City Public Schools district, which is ranked 118 out of 129 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Perrymont Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Virginia elementary schools, with proficiency rates in math and reading ranging from 31.91% to 57.89%, significantly below the state averages of 68.94% to 72.98%. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.7% to 25.6%, and an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, from 93.28% to 94.96%. While the nearby Bedford Hills Elementary, William M. Bass Elementary, and Sandusky Elementary schools also have high percentages of low-income students, they generally perform better academically than Perrymont.

The stark contrast in performance between Perrymont and the higher-performing Tomahawk Elementary in the neighboring Campbell County Public Schools district suggests that factors beyond just socioeconomic status may be contributing to Perrymont's poor performance. The Lynchburg City Public Schools district may need to examine its policies, resource allocation, and best practices to identify ways to improve outcomes for schools like Perrymont.
