Summary

Abingdon Elementary is a PK–5 school in Abingdon, VA, serving 426 students as part of Washington County Public Schools. Despite about 75% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school ranks 192nd out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the 83rd percentile with a 4-star rating. It outperforms both district and state averages on most Virginia SOL assessments, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 12.7% is below the district's 13.8% and the state's 14.8%.

The school's strongest results come in 3rd and 5th grade. In 3rd grade math, 92.3% of students are proficient, compared to 81.6% for the district and 74.0% statewide; 3rd grade reading is similarly strong at 84.6%. Fifth grade science (85.0%) and reading (85.0%) exceed state averages by more than 16 and 12 points, respectively. Abingdon is the second-highest-ranked school among its immediate Washington County peers, trailing only Watauga Elementary (95th percentile) and outpacing Valley Institute Elementary, Greendale Elementary, Rhea Valley Elementary, High Point Elementary, and Meadowview Elementary. The one consistent weak spot is 4th grade, where math (83.9%) and reading (82.6%) proficiency dip slightly below district averages, though the 4th grade Virginia Studies score of 84.5% remains well above the state's 70.5%.

The clearest area of concern is the disabled students subgroup, which ranked in the 38th percentile in 2023–2024, well below the school's overall ranking that year. Low-income students also perform below the school's overall level, ranking in the 68th percentile. Abingdon spends $12,536 per student, more than most nearby schools, yet Watauga achieves stronger results with roughly $3,000 less per student and a higher student–teacher ratio (15.0 vs. 12.5), suggesting instructional quality and school culture matter more than spending alone. The school has improved steadily over the past decade, moving from the 58th percentile in 2015–2016 to the 83rd percentile today, with a temporary dip in 2024–2025 followed by a recovery this year. If Abingdon can close the gap for its disabled students and keep chronic absenteeism trending downward, it has the potential to move back into the top 15% of Virginia elementary schools.
