Summary

LaCrosse Elementary is a PreK-5 school in La Crosse, VA, serving 353 students in Mecklenburg County Public Schools. This tight-knit school serves a community where roughly 92% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, yet it consistently outperforms what demographically similar schools typically achieve. LaCrosse currently ranks in the 58th percentile of Virginia elementary schools (468th of 1,111) with a 3-star rating — a dip from its strong 4-star showing the previous year, but still above the statewide median and ahead of most nearby elementary schools.

Math and science are clear standouts. Fifth-grade math proficiency hit 91.7% in 2025-26, far above the district (74.1%) and state (72.4%) averages, and tied for the best among nearby schools. Fifth-grade science followed at 81.3% proficient, well ahead of South Hill Elementary (65.5%) and Totaro Elementary (40.5%). Third-grade math is also strong at 84.9%. Reading is more uneven — 3rd and 5th grades beat district and state averages, but 4th-grade reading fell to 68.0%, below the district (73.6%) and state (73.7%) and trailing South Hill Elementary and Meherrin Powellton Elementary. The school's work with economically disadvantaged students is especially noteworthy: low-income students ranked in the 78th percentile statewide, after ranking in the mid-80s the prior two years. Disabled students also excelled, ranking 10th of 355 schools statewide in the most recent available data.

One of the most encouraging trends is the dramatic drop in chronic absenteeism, which fell from roughly 27% in 2021-22 to just 11.1% in 2024-25 — now better than the district (16.6%) and state (14.8%) averages. LaCrosse also uses funding efficiently, spending $9,130 per student in 2023-24, less than Meherrin Powellton Elementary ($10,851) and Red Oak-Sturgeon Elementary ($10,272) while producing stronger results. Compared with South Hill Elementary, the other Mecklenburg County elementary school in its district, LaCrosse outranks it (58th vs. 41st percentile) and posts stronger math and science scores. For parents, LaCrosse is a high-poverty school delivering above-average results — particularly in math and science — with strong outcomes for low-income and disabled students.
