Summary:
ZIP code 22922 contains one public school, Tye River Elementary, a PK–5 school in Arrington, VA, serving 360 students as part of Nelson County Public Schools. Because it is the only school in the area, all ZIP-level education data reflects this single school, and families looking for middle or high school options will need to travel outside the ZIP code.
Tye River Elementary stands out for its steady improvement and strong upper-grade performance despite high economic disadvantage. The school has climbed from the 43rd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 56th percentile in 2025–2026, earning a 3-star rating. Its 5th-grade math proficiency reached 87.23% in 2025–2026, well above the state average of 72.39%, and 5th-grade science also exceeded state averages. With 85.28% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch, these results are particularly encouraging. Chronic absenteeism is a bright spot at just 10.1%, lower than both the district (12.3%) and the state (14.8%), which likely supports consistent learning. The school also benefits from a solid resource base, including a 12.6 student–teacher ratio and per-pupil spending of $13,996.
Not everything is uniformly positive. The 4th-grade math proficiency rate of 68.63% in 2025–2026 trails the state average of 73.29%, making it the school's clearest area of concern. Year-over-year gains are also uneven across cohorts; while the current 5th graders improved dramatically in math from their 4th-grade year, the current 4th graders slipped in math compared to their own 3rd-grade scores. Science and Virginia Studies results are mixed, though the school remains near or above state averages in most subjects. Overall, Tye River Elementary is a resilient, improving school that outperforms expectations in several academic areas despite its high-poverty population. Its momentum and low absenteeism are hopeful signs, but targeted support in 4th-grade math may be needed to keep the upward trend going.
