Schools in Zip Code 23875

Zip code 23875 in Prince George, VA, is served by four schools in the Prince George County Public Schools district — one high school for grades 9–12 and three elementary schools for PK–5 — with the district earning a 3-star rating and ranking 44th out of 131 districts in Virginia.

The clear standout is L.L. Beazley Elementary, which ranks in the 78th percentile statewide (4 stars) and outperforms the district and state in nearly every subject and grade level. It has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (65.88%) among the elementary schools yet also the highest per-student spending ($10,641) and lowest student-teacher ratio (14.0), suggesting that resources and smaller classes make a real difference. Middle Road Elementary and North Elementary are nearly mirror images: both rank at the 51st percentile, both have similar poverty rates (~61–63%), and both struggle in 3rd grade reading (63.11% and 61.90%) before improving by 4th and 5th grade — a pattern that hints at an early-grade intervention gap.

Prince George High is improving, with its statewide rank climbing from 223rd to 198th over three years and a graduation rate (93.2%) above the state average. However, it remains in the 40th percentile, and chronic absenteeism (23.4% vs. 14.8% statewide) is a clear red flag that likely drags down performance in Geometry, World History II, and 11th-grade reading. Notably, the high school has a much lower poverty rate (35.38%) than any elementary school in the zip code, making its modest performance more surprising. Overall, the elementary schools in this area outperform the high school relative to state expectations, and the $2,679 per-student spending gap between Beazley and Middle Road raises important questions about resource equity across the district.
