Summary

Lee Hill Elementary is a public elementary school in Fredericksburg, Virginia, serving 683 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Spotsylvania County Public Schools district, which is ranked 92 out of 129 school districts in the state.

Lee Hill Elementary's performance on state assessments has been mixed compared to the county and state averages. While the school has shown some strengths, such as higher proficiency rates in 5th grade mathematics and science, it has also struggled in areas like 3rd and 4th grade mathematics and reading. The school's overall ranking among Virginia elementary schools has declined over the past few years, from 519 out of 1,109 in 2021-2022 to 728 out of 1,110 in 2024-2025, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has also faced challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.7% to 25.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Lee Hill Elementary's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the other elementary schools in the Spotsylvania County district, such as Courthouse Road Elementary, Smith Station Elementary, and Battlefield Elementary. However, the school's performance lags behind that of some nearby schools in other districts, such as Ferry Farm Elementary in Stafford County and Courtland Elementary in Spotsylvania County, which have higher student achievement and lower chronic absenteeism rates.
