Summary

Prince Edward Elementary is a public elementary school in Farmville, Virginia, serving 776 students in grades PK-4 as part of the Prince Edward County Public Schools district.

Despite its relatively small student population, Prince Edward Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools, with a 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing relatively better than African American, White, and low socioeconomic status students. Additionally, Prince Edward Elementary has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.7% to 30.0%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools like Eureka Elementary, Crewe Primary, and Cumberland Elementary, Prince Edward Elementary generally underperforms in terms of statewide rankings, academic performance, and student group outcomes. This may be due in part to the school's relatively lower funding, which ranges from $7,912 to $8,686 per student, compared to the $6,572 to $14,207 per student spent at the nearby schools. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Prince Edward Elementary continues to face significant challenges in supporting student achievement and engagement.
