Summary

Tazewell Intermediate is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in North Tazewell, Virginia, with 364 students. It is part of the Tazewell County Public Schools district, which is ranked 18 out of 129 school districts in Virginia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tazewell Intermediate generally performs above the Tazewell County and Virginia state averages on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, Tazewell Intermediate's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 77.78% compared to 76.74% for Tazewell County and 72.89% for Virginia. However, the school has had relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.7% to 31.1% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. Tazewell Intermediate also has a very high percentage of students (over 80%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Tazewell Intermediate's performance on SOL tests is generally comparable to or slightly better than the other nearby elementary schools in the Tazewell County district, such as Graham Intermediate, Richlands Elementary, and Cedar Bluff Elementary. However, Tazewell Intermediate's chronic absenteeism rates are higher than these nearby schools. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, suggesting its performance has been somewhat inconsistent.
