Schools in Zip Code 22407

Zip code 22407 contains 12 schools within Spotsylvania County Public Schools, serving roughly 11,339 students across six elementary schools, three middle schools, and three high schools in the Fredericksburg area. The district ranks 95th of 131 in Virginia, and this zip code reflects that middling standing with wide variation: overall free/reduced-price lunch eligibility is about 59.6%, and chronic absenteeism runs at 20.3%, well above the state's 14.8%.

The clear standout is Chancellor Elementary, which earns 4 stars and ranks in the 76th percentile, outperforming state averages in every tested subject. Riverbend High is the top high school at the 61st percentile with a 92.2% graduation rate, far ahead of Massaponax High (21st percentile) and Chancellor High (31st percentile). Among middle schools, Freedom Middle leads at the 52nd percentile, well above Chancellor Middle (19th) and Battlefield Middle (28th). Schools needing attention include Harrison Road Elementary (11th percentile), where all test scores fall below state averages.

Poverty and attendance matter, but they are not destiny. Battlefield Elementary has a 73.4% FRPL rate yet ranks in the 53rd percentile, while Salem Elementary has lower poverty and ranks lower. Chronic absenteeism tracks with performance: the best schools post rates near 10–13%, while Massaponax High tops 29%. Middle schools show a split personality — Algebra I and Geometry proficiency is excellent, but grade-level math lags, especially at Chancellor Middle, where just 31.7% of 7th graders pass. Spending does not predict results: Riverbend High spends the least but performs best. Chancellor High and Battlefield Elementary are improving, while Massaponax High and Salem Elementary are declining.
