Tuckahoe Elementary is ranked 32nd out of 1,110 Virginia elementary schools and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, consistently outperforming the district and state averages on standardized test scores. Douglas S. Freeman High also excels, with a 92.8% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Three Chopt Elementary is ranked 305th out of 1,110 Virginia elementary schools and has a 4-star rating, also outperforming the district and state on standardized tests.

In contrast, the schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates, such as Ridge Elementary and Three Chopt Elementary, tend to have the lowest standardized test scores, suggesting that these schools may face additional challenges in supporting their students' academic needs. The district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 15.7% is also significantly higher than the state average, which could be a contributing factor to the overall lower academic performance of the schools in the district.
