Schools in Zip Code 23315

Zip code 23315 contains exactly one school: Carrsville Elementary, a PK-5 elementary school in Carrsville, VA, serving 232 students under the Isle of Wight County Public Schools district — a 5-star district ranked 14th out of 131 in Virginia.

Carrsville Elementary is a solid, above-average school with clear strengths in math and science. In 2025-26, 3rd grade math proficiency reached 93%,远远 exceeding both the district (83%) and state (74%), and the school beat state averages in every grade-level math test by 5 to 19 points. Fifth grade science also improved dramatically, jumping from 71.8% to 82% year over year. The school consistently earns a 4-star state rating, with a statewide percentile between 73 and 79 over the past three years. Notably, 69.4% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, yet the school still outperforms state averages in most subjects. Chronic absenteeism is also a standout strength at just 9.9%, well below the district (12.7%) and state (14.8%) rates. However, despite sitting in an elite district, Carrsville's 73rd-79th percentile rank suggests other district schools are driving the district's top-tier status.

The most striking finding is the extreme year-over-year volatility in test scores — likely a reflection of small grade-level cohorts where just a few students can shift percentages by double digits. Third grade reading swung from 63.6% to 83.7%, while 4th grade reading dropped from 87.8% to 69.4% and 4th grade math fell from 91.8% to 78.4%. These swings point to cohort differences rather than fundamental program changes. The 2025-26 4th grade reading result (69.4%) is the school's clearest relative weakness, falling well below both district and state averages, and is worth monitoring. Because this zip code only hosts an elementary school, families must look beyond 23315 for middle and high school options, making feeder patterns an important practical consideration.
