Summary

Mary Munford Elementary is a public elementary school in Richmond, Virginia, serving 471 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Richmond City Public Schools district, which is ranked 115 out of 129 districts in the state.

Despite the district's lower ranking, Mary Munford Elementary has consistently been one of the top-performing elementary schools in Virginia, ranking 56th out of 1,110 schools in the 2024-2025 school year and maintaining a 4- or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger since 2014-2015. The school's students significantly outperform the district and state averages in standardized tests across subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates often exceeding 90%. However, the school's performance for African American students and students from low-income families is not as strong as its overall results.

Compared to nearby schools in the Richmond City Public Schools district, Mary Munford Elementary outperforms most, but its performance is not as strong as that of Tuckahoe Elementary, a highly-ranked school in the neighboring Henrico County Public Schools district. While the school's high per-student spending and relatively high student-teacher ratio are areas to consider, Mary Munford Elementary remains a standout performer in the Richmond area.
