Summary:
Zip code 22947, covering the Keswick area of Virginia, is served by a single school: Stony Point Elementary, a PK–5 elementary school in the Albemarle County Public Schools district. With 217 students, this is a small, close-knit school that stands out for its strong academics, improving state ranking, and notably low chronic absenteeism.
Stony Point Elementary is performing well above both district and state averages in most subjects. In 2025–26, its combined math proficiency was 79.3% (vs. 73.8% district and 73.2% state), and its reading proficiency was 79.9% (vs. 72.8% district and 71.2% state). The 5th grade cohort is particularly exceptional, scoring between 85.71% and 88.64% in math, reading, science, and Virginia Studies, beating state averages by roughly 20 points in the latter two subjects. The school's state ranking has also climbed from the 57th percentile to the 73rd percentile, earning a 4-star rating. However, 4th grade math dipped to 68.57%, below both district (72.57%) and state (73.29%) averages—a worthwhile area for parents to monitor. Given the small enrollment, year-to-year scores can swing significantly, so multi-year trends matter more than any single year.
The school is well-resourced, spending $18,090 per student with a favorable 12.7:1 student-teacher ratio. Chronic absenteeism is just 7.9%, far better than the district's 11.8% and the state's 14.8%, which likely supports strong achievement. About 26.73% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the school enjoys a stable, supportive environment. Since no middle or high schools exist in the zip code, students move on to other Albemarle County schools after 5th grade, making Stony Point's solid foundation an important asset for the community.
