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.
