Summary:

Zip code 24012 contains 5 schools — 4 elementary schools (Round Hill Elementary, Preston Park Elementary, Monterey Elementary, and Lincoln Terrace Elementary) and 1 middle school (Breckinridge Middle) — serving 2,783 students in the Roanoke City Public Schools district, a high-poverty area where every school reports free/reduced lunch rates above 98% and the district ranks in the bottom 12% of Virginia districts. All five schools serve elementary or middle grades only, so families have no in-zip high school option.

Monterey Elementary is the clear standout: ranked 903rd of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools (19th percentile, 1 star), it leads the zip in 3rd-grade math (73.1% vs. 62.5% district), 3rd-grade reading, and 4th-grade VA Studies, and it has improved its state ranking for three consecutive years — even while posting the highest chronic absenteeism in the zip at 23.4%. Breckinridge Middle shows a dramatic split: advanced students soar with 100% proficiency in 7th-grade Algebra I and 95.2% in 8th-grade Geometry, but grade-level math proficiency is far lower at 21.4% (6th), 28.7% (7th), and 34.4% (8th). At the other end, Lincoln Terrace Elementary spends the most per student ($16,512) with the smallest classes (10.5:1), yet records the lowest 5th-grade math (20.5%) and science (10.3%) — a reminder that resources alone do not drive results.

Several patterns matter for parents. Science is the weakest subject across the zip: 5th-grade science averages just 28.7% proficiency versus 68.8% statewide, and 8th-grade science at Breckinridge Middle sits at 28.2%. Chronic absenteeism is elevated everywhere, ranging from 16.9% at Preston Park Elementary to 23.4% at Monterey Elementary, but it is not decisive — Monterey has the highest absenteeism and best outcomes, while Preston Park has the lowest absenteeism and ranks at the 3rd percentile. Reading improves modestly from 6th grade (35.8%) to 8th grade (51.2%) at Breckinridge. Families should also know there are no high schools in 24012, so students leave the zip after 8th grade. Despite significant challenges, Monterey's steady improvement and Breckinridge's advanced-course results show progress is achievable.
