Summary

Spiller Elementary is a PK-5 school in Wytheville, VA, serving 615 students and standing as the largest elementary school in the highly regarded Wythe County Public Schools district (rated 5 stars and ranked 13th of 131 districts in Virginia). Despite more than 82% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school has consistently earned a 3-star state rating, and its students score near or above Virginia state averages in most reading and math tests.

One of Spiller's standout strengths is 5th-grade math: in the most recent school year, 83.2% of students were proficient, beating both the district (77.0%) and state (72.4%), and outperforming nearby schools like Jackson Memorial, Rural Retreat, and Max Meadows. The school has also made huge strides in attendance—chronic absenteeism dropped from 29% in 2021–2022 to just 8% in 2024–2025, now well below the state average of 14.8% and better than nearby Atkins Elementary (19.9%) and Bland County Elementary (12.8%). Fourth-grade Virginia Studies scores have also been strong, including 85.9% proficiency in 2024–2025 versus 68.2% statewide.

The clearest area for improvement is 5th-grade science, where 66.7% proficiency trails the district (71.3%) and state (68.8%)—and lags several smaller peers like Max Meadows (84%), Sheffey Elementary (81.3%), and Speedwell Elementary (81.3%). Spiller also serves more students per teacher (12.8) than many of those smaller schools, and its per-pupil spending ($9,903) is more modest than Speedwell ($11,315) and Max Meadows ($12,923). While Spiller delivers solid "average-plus" results at a large scale, the higher ratings posted by several smaller schools in the same district suggest there are opportunities to learn from their success.
