Summary:

The 23410 zip code is home to a single standout elementary school, Pungoteague Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and has 442 students. Pungoteague Elementary is part of the Accomack County Public Schools district, which is ranked 84 out of 129 districts in Virginia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pungoteague Elementary consistently outperforms its district and state counterparts on standardized tests, with higher proficiency rates in mathematics, science, and English reading across multiple grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 85.92% of 5th-grade students at Pungoteague Elementary were proficient or better in SOL/Mathematics, compared to 62.42% for the district and 71.56% for the state. The school's performance has remained strong over the past two school years.

Despite having a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (111.99% in 2023-2024), Pungoteague Elementary spends a relatively high amount per student ($8,396 in 2020-2021) and maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 14.2 to 1. These factors likely contribute to the school's academic success. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 15.7% in 2023-2024 is an area for improvement, as it is higher than the state average.
