Summary

Spotsylvania Elementary is a PK–5 public school in Spotsylvania, VA, serving 623 students as part of Spotsylvania County Public Schools. The school has seen its state ranking fall sharply over the past five years, from the 69th percentile (3 stars) in 2020–2021 to the 12th percentile (1 star) in 2025–2026 — its lowest point in the available data. Because the decline has been steady, it points to systemic challenges rather than a one-year blip.

Academically, SOL proficiency rates at Spotsylvania Elementary trail both district and state averages in nearly every subject and grade. In 3rd grade reading, just 45.83% of students scored proficient, compared to 56.41% across the district and 67.61% statewide. Gaps are similarly large in 5th grade science (45.69% vs. 60.14% district and 68.75% state) and 3rd grade math (56.25% vs. 67.66% district and 74.04% state). Chronic absenteeism is also a concern: at 18.7%, it is the highest among 11 nearby elementary schools and well above the state average of 14.8%. Nearby Berkeley Elementary, which serves a higher share of economically disadvantaged students, has just 9.4% chronic absenteeism and ranks in the 33rd percentile — a sign that Spotsylvania's attendance challenges aren't simply a result of poverty.

Resource challenges compound the picture. Spotsylvania Elementary has the largest class sizes in its peer group, with a student–teacher ratio of 18.3, and per-pupil spending of $7,509 has declined for four straight years. Meanwhile, the share of students eligible for free or reduced lunch jumped from 42.33% to 65.01% in a single year. Subgroup outcomes are also very low across the board, including for students with disabilities and low-income students. The contrast with Chancellor Elementary, less than 7 miles away, is striking: Chancellor ranks in the 76th percentile, has lower absenteeism (12.7%) and far less poverty (22.5% free/reduced lunch), and outscores Spotsylvania in every subject. Together, the data point to a school in need of targeted investment in attendance support, additional instructional staff, and stronger interventions for its highest-need 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
