Summary

T. Clay Wood Elementary is a PK–5 school in Nokesville, VA, serving 754 students as part of Prince William County Public Schools, and it has built a well-earned reputation as one of the stronger elementary options in the area. In the most recent ranking year, the school placed 133rd out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools, landing in the 88th percentile with a 4-star rating. That strong performance shows up clearly in SOL testing: math proficiency averages about 89.6%, reading about 87.3%, science 82.9%, and Virginia Studies 86.4% — all well above both district and state averages.

What really sets T. Clay Wood Elementary apart is how consistently it succeeds across different groups of students. Chronic absenteeism is remarkably low at 5.6%, compared with 13.8% for the district and 14.8% for the state. African American students rank 23rd of 591 schools statewide, and English Learner students rank 8th of 315 — both earning 5-star ratings. The school also does a lot with its resources: it spends about $10,442 per student, which is less than nearby schools like Suella G. Ellis Elementary ($15,557) and George Carr Round Elementary ($14,802), and it maintains a higher student-teacher ratio than most neighbors, yet still produces top-tier results.

Among nearby schools, Glenkirk Elementary is the clear standout, ranking 27th statewide. But T. Clay Wood compares very favorably to the rest of the pack: Piney Branch Elementary (124th), Cedar Point Elementary (134th), and T. Clay Wood (133rd) form a tight cluster of high performers, while the school sits far ahead of Chris Yung Elementary, George P. Mullen Elementary, and George Carr Round. Over the past decade, T. Clay Wood has never fallen below the 82nd percentile in state rankings and has earned 5 stars in several recent years. For parents looking for a reliable, high-quality elementary school in the Nokesville area, T. Clay Wood is a strong choice.
