Summary

Luray Elementary is a PK–5 school in Luray, Virginia, serving 474 students in Page County Public Schools. The school has been on a clear upward trajectory, moving from the 10th percentile statewide in 2021-22 to the 34th percentile (728th of 1,111 elementary schools) in 2025-26 – its best ranking in available data. This improvement is especially notable given that 93.5% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, one of the highest rates among nearby schools.

Chronic absenteeism has been cut nearly in half, from 29.4% in 2021-22 to 15.5% in 2024-25, now below the district average of 18.4% and close to the state average of 14.8%. Luray also stands out for its resource efficiency, spending $8,680 per student – far less than several neighboring schools that rank lower. For example, Lacey Spring Elementary spends $12,234 per student and ranks 926th, while Elkton Elementary spends $10,791 and ranks 901st. Academically, 3rd grade math (81% proficient) and 5th grade science (71% proficient) are bright spots, while 4th grade math (56% proficient) and Virginia Studies (67% proficient) trail district and state averages.

Luray's economically disadvantaged students rank in the 56th percentile statewide – well above the school's overall ranking – demonstrating a genuine strength in serving students from low-income families. The 4th grade appears to be a transition point worth watching: 5th grade math jumped from 44% to 61% proficiency and 5th grade science from 52% to 71%, while 4th grade math declined. Within Page County, Luray now ranks above Stanley Elementary but below Shenandoah Elementary and Springfield Elementary. If recent attendance gains and academic momentum continue, Luray could keep climbing the statewide rankings in the years ahead.
