Summary

Fulks Run Elementary is a small, rural PK-5 school in Fulks Run, VA, serving 198 students as part of Rockingham County Public Schools. The school serves a high-poverty population, with about 76% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, yet it spends roughly $12,000 per student and keeps class sizes small with a student–teacher ratio of 13.3 — both more favorable than many nearby schools.

Academically, the picture is mixed. The 5th grade is a genuine bright spot: math proficiency (81%) and science proficiency (75%) both exceed district and state averages. However, 4th grade is a consistent area of concern, with math (47%) and reading (56%) well below district and state averages, and 3rd-grade reading also lags at 54%. Because the school is so small, scores can swing dramatically from year to year — 3rd-grade math went from 94% proficient to 34% and back to 67% over three years — so single-year rankings should be taken with a grain of salt. In other words, a particularly strong or weak class can shift the numbers significantly without reflecting a real change in school quality.

One of the clearest success stories is attendance: chronic absenteeism dropped from 28.9% in 2021-22 to just 6.7% in 2024-25, well below the district (11%) and state (14.8%) averages. Compared with nearby schools, Fulks Run trails the local leader, John C. Myers Elementary, which outperforms it in most subjects, but it generally holds its own against schools in Harrisonburg City, such as Waterman Elementary and Spotswood Elementary, particularly in 5th-grade math and science. Overall, Fulks Run has real strengths in upper-elementary math and science and a strong attendance record, but persistent weaknesses in the middle grades keep its overall ranking in the bottom quarter of Virginia elementary schools.

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
