Summary

Spotsylvania Elementary is a public elementary school serving 593 students in grades PK-5 in Spotsylvania, Virginia, which is part of the Spotsylvania County Public Schools district. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and rating in recent years, dropping from 347 out of 1,103 Virginia elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 888 out of 1,110 in 2024-2025, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars to 1 star over the same period, nearby schools like Chancellor Elementary and Riverview Elementary have maintained higher rankings and ratings.

Spotsylvania Elementary's student performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests is generally lower than the Spotsylvania County Public Schools district and the state of Virginia averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 49.11%, compared to the district's 66.28% and the state's 72.89%, and the school's 5th grade reading proficiency rate was 62.77%, compared to the district's 66.84% and the state's 71.95%. Additionally, Spotsylvania Elementary has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.7% to 25.6% over the past few years, which is higher than the chronic absenteeism rates at nearby schools like Berkeley Elementary (15.7%) and Chancellor Elementary (15.7%).

While the higher percentage of students from low-income backgrounds and the more diverse student population at Spotsylvania Elementary compared to nearby schools may suggest the need for additional resources and targeted support, the school's declining performance and ranking over the past several years is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation. By addressing these issues and learning from the successes of higher-performing nearby schools, the school and district can work to improve student outcomes and provide a more equitable educational experience for all students.

We relocated from Tennessee in the last 9 weeks of 2016. My son has made tremendous improvement at this Elementary school. Positive reinforcement makes a huge difference for my son. He made the honor roll! I never thought that would happen for my child. Great teachers. Great staff. Close Quote
