Summary

Round Hill Elementary is a PK–5 school in Roanoke, Virginia, serving 720 students — the largest elementary school in its surrounding cluster within the Roanoke City Public Schools district. In 2025–2026, it ranked 1,040th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools, placing it in the 6th percentile statewide with a 0-star rating — a steep decline from a decade ago when it ranked near the 40th percentile. Nearly all of the school's students come from economically disadvantaged households, and chronic absenteeism sits at 22.1%, above the state rate of 14.8% but below the district's 25.0%.

The school's academic pattern shows a clear "early-grade strength, late-grade cliff." In 4th-grade math, 66% of students were proficient — well above the district average of 57.3% and the third-best score among nearby schools, trailing only Highland Park Elementary and Monterey Elementary. By 5th grade, however, reading proficiency falls to 33.3%, the lowest among surrounding schools, and science and math scores also rank near the bottom of the group. Peer schools with similar poverty levels post far stronger 5th-grade results — Highland Park Elementary reaches 71.9% in reading and Virginia Heights Elementary 60.5% — suggesting that school-level practices and resources matter.

Round Hill has the lowest per-pupil spending of any nearby elementary school: $10,761 in 2023–2024, compared with Virginia Heights Elementary at $17,055 and Roanoke Academy For Mathematics & Science Elementary at $18,448. The most alarming metric is for students with disabilities, where the school ranks 419th of 420 schools statewide. There are genuine positives to note: SOL proficiency has improved substantially since 2022–2023, chronic absenteeism has dropped by 14.5 points since 2020–2021, and the strong 4th-grade math results suggest pockets of instruction worth building on.
