Summary

Berkeley Glenn Elementary is a K–5 school in Waynesboro, VA, serving 256 students as part of Waynesboro City Public Schools, a district currently ranked in the bottom quarter of Virginia districts. The school serves a very high-poverty population, with 94.9% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, and spends a relatively high $13,381 per student while maintaining a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.4:1. Berkeley Glenn has historically ranked in the bottom quarter of Virginia elementary schools — it placed in the 22nd percentile in 2025-26, a slight improvement from recent years but far below its best recent showing in 2016-17.

There are pockets of genuine academic strength. In 2025-26, 3rd grade reading (64.7% proficient) and math (61.8%) both surpassed district averages, and 4th grade reading reached 76.6%, above the district and state. However, the school loses significant ground in later grades: 4th grade math proficiency was 45.8%, a 17.5-point gap below the district and 27.5 points below the state, and VA Studies (48.9%) also trails sharply. 5th grade math improved from 44.1% to 60.0% but remains below the state, and 5th grade science (54.3%) lags the district. These struggles suggest early reading intervention is working, but content mastery in upper grades needs attention.

Chronic absenteeism is the highest among Waynesboro's four elementary schools at 16.3% in 2024-25, above the state average but below the district average of 21.0%. It improved from a peak of 25.2% in 2022-23 but remains a concern. Subgroup performance is also volatile — low-SES students ranked in the 69th percentile statewide in 2024-25 but fell to the 27th percentile in 2025-26. Compared to nearby peers, Berkeley Glenn (22nd percentile) trails Westwood Hills Elementary and Wenonah Elementary (both 35th percentile) but outperforms William Perry Elementary (10th percentile) despite similar poverty rates. Notably, Bessie Weller Elementary in Staunton achieves a 61st-percentile rank with less funding per student, suggesting that while resources are adequate, reducing absenteeism and stabilizing subgroup performance would likely move the needle most.
