Summary

Coeburn Primary is a PK-4 elementary school in Coeburn, VA, serving 420 students as part of Wise County Public Schools, a district ranked #2 in Virginia.

Despite nearly 88% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Coeburn ranks #15 out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools — a 99th-percentile, 5-star rating. That places it well ahead of nearby Union Primary (#49) and J.W. Adams Combined (#54). On 2025-26 SOL tests, Coeburn posted 96.5% proficiency in 3rd grade math and 98.7% in 4th grade math, compared to state averages around 74%. Reading proficiency hit 91.2% in 3rd grade and 93.2% in 4th grade. Only nearby St. Paul Elementary (#2) posts higher scores regionally.

The school is especially effective with high-need students: it ranks #3 statewide for low-income students and #5 for students with disabilities. Coeburn has also improved steeply, climbing from #340 in 2016-17 to #15 today, even as economic need rose. It does so efficiently, spending about $8,685 per student — far less than Castlewood Elementary's $11,244, despite Castlewood ranking #919. One caution flag: chronic absenteeism jumped from 3.9% in 2023-24 to 14.8% in 2024-25 — still better than Ridgeview Elementary (28.4%) but a trend worth watching.
