Summary

Stonehouse Elementary is a K–5 school serving 838 students in Williamsburg, Virginia, and it stands out as one of the strongest and most efficient elementary schools in the Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools district. The school has earned a 4-star rating every year on record and currently ranks 185th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools—83rd percentile statewide—making it the highest-ranked school among nearby district peers like Matoaka Elementary and Clara Byrd Baker Elementary.

Academically, Stonehouse posts exceptional early-grade results. In 3rd grade, 95.5% of students are proficient in math and 88.8% are proficient in reading—roughly 21 points above state averages in both subjects, and well ahead of every nearby school. While scores ease somewhat by 5th grade, they remain solidly above state levels in math, reading, and science. Stonehouse also achieves these results efficiently: it spends about $8,453 per student—the lowest among nearby schools—and maintains a higher student-teacher ratio than peers like Norge Elementary and Clara Byrd Baker Elementary, yet outscores them on most state tests. Even Waller Mill Elementary, the only nearby school ranked slightly higher, trails Stonehouse in 3rd grade math and 5th grade science.

Attendance is another quiet strength: Stonehouse's chronic absenteeism rate is just 7.1%—the lowest among all nearby schools and roughly half the state average. The school also saw dramatic improvement with military-connected students, jumping from the 25th to the 80th percentile over two years. The main area of concern is support for students with disabilities, where the school ranks in the 37th percentile, well below its overall performance. Still, for most families, Stonehouse represents a highly effective, stable, and well-run school that delivers top-tier results while spending less per student than almost any nearby alternative.
