Summary

Miles Jones Elementary is a PK–5 school in Richmond, Virginia, serving 505 students as part of Richmond City Public Schools. The school serves an almost entirely economically disadvantaged student body, with 99% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. On Virginia’s 2025–2026 school rankings, Miles Jones sits at 1092 out of 1111 elementary schools, placing it in the 2nd percentile statewide. That places it below nearby schools such as Swansboro Elementary and Elizabeth D. Redd Elementary, and far below Patrick Henry School of Science and Arts, a Richmond City school just a few miles away that ranks in the 60th percentile.

Academic proficiency rates are well below district and state averages. For example, 3rd grade reading proficiency was 26.7% in the most recent testing year, compared to 46.6% for the district and 67.6% statewide. Across grades 3–5, reading averages 36.8%, math 46.3%, and 5th grade science 34.6%. The gap is especially stark when compared to Patrick Henry School of Science and Arts, which serves a nearly identical population—100% free/reduced-price lunch—but achieves 4th grade reading proficiency of 88.6% versus 44.3% at Miles Jones, and 5th grade science of 78.7% versus 34.6%. This comparison shows that high poverty does not predetermine low performance.

There are some encouraging signs. English Language Learner students at Miles Jones perform near the statewide median for their subgroup, at the 48th percentile, despite the school’s overall 2nd-percentile rank. Math scores have also ticked upward in recent years, with 3rd grade math rising from 38.3% to 48.7% over three years. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 24.3% in 2021–2022 to 17.8% in 2024–2025, now below the Richmond City Public Schools average of 20.5%. While Miles Jones still faces serious challenges, particularly in early literacy, these bright spots—along with the success of Patrick Henry—suggest that targeted strategies around attendance, language support, and instruction can make a difference for students.
