Summary:
Zip code 23093, serving the Louisa, VA area, is home to three elementary schools—Thomas Jefferson Elementary, Moss-Nuckols Elementary, and Trevilians Elementary—all part of the top-ranked Louisa County Public Schools district, and all serving grades PK-5 with a combined enrollment of about 1,855 students.
Among the three schools, Trevilians Elementary stands out as the strongest overall performer, ranking in the 86th percentile for 2025-2026 and posting the highest average SOL proficiency at roughly 87%, along with the best student-teacher ratio (13.6) and lowest per-student spending ($10,919). Thomas Jefferson Elementary is the largest school and a math powerhouse, averaging 90.1% proficiency in 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade math, while also achieving the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (7.3%)—all despite serving the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students (88.84% free/reduced lunch). Moss-Nuckols Elementary is the most improved school, jumping from the 46th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 68th percentile in 2025-2026, but it remains the lowest-performing of the three, with weaker math and reading scores and the highest chronic absenteeism (9.3%), even though it has the lowest poverty rate.
Across all three schools, math emerges as a clear strength, while reading is more variable—for example, Trevilians posts excellent 3rd and 4th-grade reading scores (90% each) but sees a drop in 5th grade, and Thomas Jefferson’s 3rd-grade reading dips to 75.79% despite strong math. Attendance is a shared advantage, with all schools well below the state’s 14.8% chronic absenteeism rate. Since the zip code contains only elementary schools, families will need to look outside 23093 for middle and high school, but the elementary foundation here is solid, especially at Trevilians and Thomas Jefferson, with Moss-Nuckols trending upward.
