Summary

Fulks Run Elementary is a public elementary school located in Fulks Run, Virginia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 154 students. The school is part of the Rockingham County Public Schools district, which is ranked 91 out of 129 districts in Virginia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fulks Run Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, lower test scores compared to state and district averages, and a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 66.15% to 85.51% over the past few years. This is significantly higher than the rates of nearby schools like Mountain View Elementary (67.04%), Lacey Spring Elementary (73.78%), and Linville-Edom Elementary (39.11%). Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Fulks Run Elementary, ranging from $10,221 to $12,991 over the past few years, the school's performance lags behind these nearby schools on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism.

The consistent low performance of Fulks Run Elementary, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, suggests that the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education for its students. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients indicate that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the school's lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism rates. While the reasons for Fulks Run Elementary's challenges are complex, the school's performance compared to nearby schools suggests that additional resources or targeted interventions may be necessary to improve educational outcomes for its students.

What people are saying

by a citizen
Monday, April 11, 2011

FRES should be a model for other elementary schools. It is small enough to provide individualized instruction, care, and help as needed to it's student body, and it does so admirably. The teachers and staff are, for the most part, highly caring and competent. The school sponsors and/or conducts numerous programs and events designed to involve the students and their families.

The people of this area are quite fortunate to have a facility of this caliber with which to entrust our children. Close Quote
