Summary

Woodville Elementary is a public elementary school in Richmond, Virginia, serving 228 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 and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodville Elementary has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Virginia, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past several years. The school's academic performance, as measured by SOL (Standards of Learning) test scores, is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of Woodville Elementary students proficient or better in SOL Mathematics ranged from 21.43% (5th grade) to 30.77% (3rd grade), compared to 52.2% (5th grade) and 51.96% (3rd grade) for the Richmond City Public Schools district. The school also experiences high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 15.7% to 33.5% over the past few school years.

Despite the relatively high spending per student at Woodville Elementary, ranging from $8,975 in 2018-2019 to $10,864 in 2020-2021, the school's outcomes have not improved. Nearby schools in the Richmond City Public Schools district, such as Overby-Sheppard Elementary, Henry Marsh III Elementary, and Fairfield Court Elementary, also perform poorly on academic measures compared to the state averages, but generally outperform Woodville Elementary. Addressing the challenges at Woodville Elementary will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that goes beyond simply increasing funding, focusing on strategies to improve student attendance and implement evidence-based instructional practices tailored to the specific needs of the school's student population.
