906^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,111 Virginia Elementary Schools

Better than 18% of Virginia elementary schools

Summary

Patrick Henry Elementary in Martinsville, VA, serves 357 students in grades K–5 with nearly all students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting the very high economic need of the community. The school operates with a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.7 and per-pupil spending of $11,087, which has risen more than 40% since 2020–2021, showing that the district is directing meaningful resources to the school.

While the school's overall state ranking places it in the 18th percentile, Patrick Henry consistently outperforms its own district, Martinsville City Public Schools, in core subjects. For example, 3rd grade reading proficiency was 60.7% versus the district's 51.7%, and 5th grade math reached 68.9%. In fact, Patrick Henry surpasses its same-district peer, Albert Harris Elementary, in nearly every subject. However, schools in nearby Henry County Public Schools, such as Drewry Mason Elementary and Rich Acres Elementary, post higher proficiency rates, despite serving similarly high-poverty populations.

One standout strength is attendance: the school's chronic absenteeism rate is just 6.9%, far below the district average of 15.5% and among the best in the region. The school also earns five stars for its Hispanic students' performance, placing them in the top 10% of schools statewide. While science and Virginia Studies scores lag behind state averages, math proficiency improves as students advance, suggesting steady growth. With low class sizes, rising investment, and clear internal strengths, Patrick Henry shows real potential.
