Summary

Stuart Elementary in Stuart, VA, serves 361 students in grades PK–7 within Patrick County Public Schools, a district ranked 10th of 131 in Virginia with a 5-star rating. In 2025–2026, Stuart ranked 313th of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools, placing it at the 72nd percentile with 4 stars — a meaningful rebound from the previous year.

Stuart's standout strength is its work with students facing economic challenges. Despite nearly 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school ranks in the 90th percentile statewide for low-income students, earning 5 stars for that subgroup. Attendance is also strong, with chronic absenteeism dropping from 15.1% to 9.1% — below both the district rate of 10.1% and the state rate of 14.8%. The 6th-grade results are especially impressive: math proficiency hit 93.18% and reading 88.64%, both well above district and state averages and ahead of nearby Woolwine Elementary and Blue Ridge Elementary. Stuart accomplishes this while spending just $8,216 per student, less than nearly every neighboring school.

Still, some areas need attention. Stuart trails its district in 7th-grade math, 3rd- and 4th-grade reading, and 4th-grade Virginia Studies. The 7th-grade Civics gap is notable: the school's 70.73% matches the state average but falls well short of the district's 78.17%. Subgroup results vary — male students rank in the 82nd percentile while female students sit at the 62nd, and the disabled-student subgroup dropped from the 71st to the 40th percentile in recent years. Compared to Woolwine Elementary, Stuart trails in most grades 3–5 subjects but actually outperforms Woolwine in 6th-grade math and reading. Overall, Stuart is a high-poverty school performing well above state averages, with strong attendance and standout 6th-grade outcomes — though social studies, early-elementary instruction, and support for students with disabilities offer room for growth.
