Summary:

Zip code 23693 in Yorktown, Virginia is home to three top-tier elementary schools — Tabb Elementary, Coventry Elementary, and Mount Vernon Elementary — serving grades K–5 (with Mount Vernon adding pre-K) and totaling 1,910 students. All three belong to York County Public Schools, a district ranked 6th out of 131 in Virginia, and every school lands in the top 15% of elementary schools statewide.

Tabb Elementary is the academic leader, ranking 61st in the state with a 95th-percentile score and the highest overall SOL proficiency average (90.4% in 2025–2026), even though it spends the least per student ($8,227). Mount Vernon Elementary is a close second, ranking 83rd, and stands out for the lowest chronic absenteeism (5.2%) and lowest free/reduced lunch rate (24.96%). Its 5th grade cohort posted exceptional scores in 2024–2025 — including 96.67% math — but those numbers dipped the following year, likely reflecting normal cohort variation. Coventry Elementary, while ranked 171st (85th percentile), is the most improved: its all-subject average rose from 83.7% to 86.1%, and 3rd grade math jumped an impressive 15.9 points.

Attendance across all three schools is exceptionally strong — even Coventry’s 8.5% chronic absenteeism is well below the state’s 14.8%. The main gap is in 4th grade at Coventry, where math and reading scores trail the district average. Tabb’s 3rd grade reading score being identical (86.99%) in both years is a curiosity worth noting. Overall, families in 23693 have access to consistently excellent elementary options, with Tabb and Mount Vernon leading the pack and Coventry quickly closing the gap.
