Summary:
Zip code 22968 is served by a single elementary school, Ruckersville Elementary, which enrolls roughly 540 students in grades K–5 in Ruckersville, Virginia, as part of Greene County Public Schools.
Ruckersville Elementary is a high-poverty school — about 69% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch — yet it stands out for its strong academics. In mathematics, the school beats both its district and the state average in most grade levels; 4th grade math hit 84.62% proficiency in 2024–2025, and overall math averages have been competitive with or above Virginia's statewide numbers. The school also outperforms its district nearly everywhere, including a 74.04% pass rate in 5th grade math versus the district's 68.78%, and 70.19% in 5th grade reading versus the district's 63.90%. Chronic absenteeism is a bright spot too, at just 12.5% — well below both Greene County's 19.9% and Virginia's 14.8% state average.
Despite these strengths, parents should know about two key concerns. The biggest weakness is Virginia Studies in 4th grade, where the school's 60.44% pass rate trails the state's 70.52% by a full 10 points. Also, 5th grade reading dropped sharply from 81.40% to 70.19% in one year, placing the school just below the state in that subject. As a result, the school's state ranking has been somewhat volatile, moving from the 45th percentile to the 52nd and back down to the 43rd over the past two years. Overall, Ruckersville Elementary is a solid school that excels in math and outperforms its district across most measures, while showing clear room for improvement in Virginia Studies and 5th grade reading.
