Summary:
Zip code 23947 (Keysville, VA) contains exactly one school, Eureka Elementary, a public PK–5 school that serves as the area's sole educational anchor, with no middle or high schools located within the zip code. Eureka Elementary is a standout performer, ranking in the top 20% of Virginia elementary schools for three consecutive years and sitting within Charlotte County Public Schools, which itself ranks 4th out of 131 districts in the state (97th percentile, 5 stars).
Despite serving a high-poverty population — with 87.9% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch — Eureka Elementary exceeded state proficiency rates in every subject and grade tested during 2025-2026. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 13.4% is better than both the district (17.4%) and state (14.8%), a meaningful achievement for a school with such high need. Its strongest results are in 5th grade math (92.86% proficient vs. 72.39% statewide) and 5th grade science (90.00% vs. 68.75% statewide), both nearly 20 points above the state average.
The clearest area of concern is 4th grade math, where proficiency fell sharply from 86.11% in 2024-2025 to 76.71% in 2025-2026, dropping below the district average (84.09%). Overall proficiency dipped only slightly year over year, from about 86.5% to 85.2%, driven mostly by that 4th grade decline and small drops in reading. While 4th grade appears to be a relative weak spot compared to other grades, Eureka Elementary still beats state averages across the board, maintaining strong attendance and consistent top-20% rankings — making it a high-poverty, high-performing school and a clear standout for families in the 23947 area.
