Summary

West Point Elementary in West Point, Virginia, is a PK-5 school serving 409 students in the West Point Public Schools district, a small-town district that ranks among the top 20 in Virginia. The school itself is ranked 114th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools for 2025-2026, placing it in the 90th percentile statewide, and it has consistently stayed above the 80th percentile for the past decade. This strong track record means parents can expect a school that reliably performs well above both state and regional averages.

Academically, West Point Elementary shines on Virginia’s SOL assessments. For example, 4th grade math proficiency hit 94.2%, 4th grade reading 92.65%, and 5th grade science 89.06% — all about 20 points above state averages. The school also serves economically diverse students exceptionally well: 48.9% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, yet low-income students here perform at the 97th percentile compared to similar students statewide. Chronic absenteeism is just 10.3%, lower than the district and state rates, and per-student spending is the highest among nearby schools at $12,952 — ahead of Petsworth Elementary ($10,759) and Stonehouse Elementary ($8,453).

There are a couple of areas worth watching. Fifth grade math, while still above the state average at 76.19%, trails neighboring schools like Bethel Elementary (91.55%) and New Kent Elementary (85.86%). Also, one student subgroup ranks in the 59th percentile, which is below the school’s overall 90th percentile — a sign of room for improvement in ensuring all groups thrive. Still, West Point’s results are remarkable when compared to demographically similar schools: Acquinton Elementary, with a similar poverty rate, ranks in the 28th percentile. For parents, West Point Elementary offers a proven combination of high achievement, equity, and consistent performance.

Open Quote My daughter transferred to this school from Middlesex Elementary. There is no comparison in the quality of education she receives . . . paying a fraction of the cost of a private school, she is getting a stellar education. I have read criticisms that the school is overly focused on academic achievement, but personally have seen no evidence of that: the staff and the teachers with whom I have had any contact are kind and supportive. Excellent school! Close Quote
