Summary

Lee Hill Elementary is a PK–5 school in Fredericksburg, VA, serving 680 students as part of Spotsylvania County Public Schools. With 66% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, it serves a relatively high-poverty population. The school ranks in the 35th percentile of Virginia elementary schools with a 2-star rating — modest overall, but a step above its district's standing and higher than several schools in the immediate area.

Lee Hill Elementary's standout strength is 5th-grade mathematics, where 82.83% of students met proficiency in 2025–2026, well above the district (70.32%) and state (72.39%) averages — and it has now exceeded the state average four consecutive years. The school also earns high marks for its work with students with disabilities, ranking in the 70th percentile statewide for that subgroup. Attendance is improving too: chronic absenteeism dropped from 20.4% in 2021–2022 to 15.2% in 2024–2025, far better than the district's 19.6%. Notably, this all comes while spending just $7,838 per student — less than many peers like Courthouse Road Elementary ($8,850), Battlefield Elementary ($8,445), and Courtland Elementary ($9,674).

The school's biggest challenge is early reading: only 53.15% of 3rd graders met proficiency, well below the state's 67.61%. Fourth-grade math has also been inconsistent year to year. Still, Lee Hill ranks 35th statewide — above immediate neighbors Cedar Forest Elementary (20th percentile), Spotswood Elementary (21st), and Parkside Elementary (27th), and well above Hugh Mercer Elementary and Lafayette Elementary, both of which sit in the single digits, though it trails Ferry Farm Elementary (52nd). For parents, Lee Hill is a solid choice: a school doing more with less, with real strengths in upper-grade math and special education support.
