Summary

A.S. Rhodes Elementary is a K-5 school in Front Royal, VA, serving 265 students in the Warren County Public Schools district. The school serves a high-poverty population, with 74.3% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch. While Warren County Public Schools ranks 83rd of 131 Virginia districts, A.S. Rhodes ranks 414th of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools — 63rd percentile and 3 stars. That is down from a peak of 212th (81st percentile, 4 stars) in 2022-2023, but it still makes Rhodes the strongest elementary school in the district by a wide margin.

Academically, Rhodes outperforms its district in every subject and grade level, and it beats the state average in most areas. Math proficiency sits near 80% across grades 3-5, well above state averages. Reading is equally strong in 4th and 5th grades, though 3rd grade reading (65.9%) trails the state average (67.6%) and is the school's clearest area for improvement. The school is especially effective with economically disadvantaged students, as its low-socioeconomic-status subgroup ranks in the 78th percentile statewide — a meaningful achievement given that roughly three-quarters of students qualify for free/reduced lunch.

Rhodes also posts the best attendance in its district, with 15.2% chronic absenteeism versus 25.9% for Warren County Public Schools, and it achieves its results with lower per-pupil spending ($9,324) than any same-district peer. E. Wilson Morrison Elementary, for example, spends $10,887 per student yet ranks nearly 400 places lower. Rhodes even outranks Boyce Elementary of the higher-ranked Clarke County Public Schools district (63rd vs. 58th percentile) while serving more than twice the level of economic disadvantage. The recent momentum has cooled somewhat, so families should keep an eye on early literacy as the school works to return to its 80th-percentile form.
