Summary

Shenandoah Elementary is a PK–5 public school in Shenandoah, Virginia, serving 351 students as part of Page County Public Schools. The school serves a very high-poverty population — 94% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025 — and recently earned a 2-star rating, ranking 689th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools. That's a step back from its 2023–2024 peak of 429th (3 stars), and reflects a pattern of year-to-year swings. Historically, Shenandoah has been a mid-pack performer, ranging anywhere from the 28th to 61st percentile depending on the year.

Despite its high poverty rate, Shenandoah outperforms many nearby schools with less economic disadvantage. Its average SOL proficiency is roughly 69%, putting it ahead of most schools in Rockingham County like Elkton Elementary, Lacey Spring Elementary, Smithland Elementary, and Cub Run Elementary. Only Peak View Elementary (~80%) is clearly stronger. Shenandoah also consistently outpaces Stanley Elementary, its counterpart in the same district, in both state ranking and chronic absenteeism. The school's standout subject is 4th grade Virginia Studies, where 80.49% of students passed in 2025–2026, well above the 70.52% state average. Third grade math is another bright spot at 79.07%. However, reading and math slipped in 2025–2026, especially in grades 4 and 5, where proficiency now trails the state average.

Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically — from 25.4% in 2022–2023 to 16.3% in 2024–2025 — though it still exceeds the state average of 14.8% and most nearby schools. Shenandoah spends about $9,399 per student, less than many neighbors, yet maintains a favorable 13.0 student-teacher ratio. Perhaps most encouraging: the school's economically disadvantaged students have historically performed near the statewide median for their subgroup, suggesting Shenandoah is doing right by the population it mostly serves. Overall, this is a school that punches above its weight given the challenges it faces, though the recent upper-elementary declines are worth watching.
