Summary

Green Valley Elementary is a PK-5 school in Roanoke, Virginia, serving 483 students as part of Roanoke County Public Schools, one of Virginia's strongest districts (ranked 11th of 131 statewide). The school currently earns a 4-star rating and ranks in the 79th percentile of Virginia elementary schools. Perhaps its most striking statistic is attendance: only 5.5% of students are chronically absent, compared to 14.8% statewide and 9.4% across the district. That is also better than nearby schools like Highland Park Elementary (17.5%), Virginia Heights Elementary (15.9%), and Fishburn Park Elementary (14.7%). Roughly 44% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and per-pupil spending is $8,973.

Green Valley's strongest academics come in the upper grades. In 2025-2026, 5th grade math proficiency reached 93%, compared to 72% statewide, and 5th grade science hit nearly 96%—a remarkable 27 percentage points above the state average. The school also does exceptional work with student groups that often face achievement gaps: Hispanic students ranked in the 97th percentile statewide, and low-income students ranked in the 95th percentile. However, early-grade math is a softer spot. Third grade math proficiency (78.75%) fell below the district average of 83%, and 4th grade Virginia Studies also trails the district. Test scores bounce around from year to year, partly because grade-level cohorts are small.

In the local Roanoke County Public Schools cluster, Green Valley is solid but not the top school. Penn Forest Elementary (93rd percentile) and Cave Spring Elementary (92nd percentile) rank higher, while Oak Grove Elementary (76th percentile) and Clearbrook Elementary (69th percentile) rank slightly lower. Interestingly, some nearby Roanoke City schools perform at similar or higher levels despite their district, Roanoke City Public Schools, ranking in the 11th percentile statewide—Crystal Spring Elementary, for instance, ranks in the 93rd percentile. Green Valley also spends less per pupil than its neighbors while outperforming many of them, signaling strong efficiency. After a mid-decade dip, the school's ranking has stabilized and shows positive momentum, though sustaining gains in early-grade math would help it return to the elite tier it held a decade ago.
