Summary

Weber City Elementary is a PK-6 school in Weber City, Virginia, serving 380 students as part of Scott County Public Schools. For 2025-2026, the school is ranked 33rd out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools — in the 97th percentile with a 5-star rating — making it the highest-ranked school in the immediate area, well ahead of Yuma Elementary (113th), Hilton Elementary (150th), and Valley Institute Elementary (199th).

Academically, Weber City posts exceptional results across every subject. In math, proficiency ranges from 88% in 6th grade to 98% in 5th grade, compared to state averages in the low-to-mid 70s. Reading proficiency is strong too, with 4th, 5th, and 6th grades all scoring between 90% and 95%, while 5th-grade science hit 90% and 4th-grade Virginia Studies reached 100%. These results are especially remarkable given that roughly 76% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's low-income students rank 9th in the state, and its disabled students rank 14th — a dramatic jump from a 1-star rating just two years ago. Weber City accomplishes all this while spending just $8,122 per pupil, less than nearby Hilton ($14,728) and Valley Institute ($12,297).

Weber City's combination of high achievement, high poverty, and modest spending makes it one of the most impressive high-value schools in far southwestern Virginia. Larger class sizes (a 14.3:1 student-teacher ratio) haven't slowed progress, and chronic absenteeism of 12.0% is below the state average of 14.8%, though slightly above Scott County's 10.5%. The main area to watch is 3rd-grade reading at 77.8% — still above the state average but the school's lowest single score. Overall, Weber City delivers elite results for all students.
