Summary:

There is one elementary school in zip code 24245: Dungannon Elementary, a small PK-7 school in Scott County Public Schools serving 131 students in a rural, high-poverty area where 74% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. This school stands out for its unusually broad grade span—functioning as both an elementary and middle school—and for posting remarkable results in several subjects despite its size and socioeconomic challenges.

Over the past three years, Dungannon Elementary has earned a consistent 3-star rating but its state percentile has slipped from the 61st to the 53rd percentile, a decline that may reflect low early-grade performance and slightly elevated chronic absenteeism (13.6% vs. 10.5% district). The most striking 2025-2026 results include 100% proficiency for 4th-grade reading, 84.6% for 6th-grade math, and 91.7% for 4th-grade Virginia Studies—all well above state averages. Upper-grade math is a clear strength: 6th and 7th grade math proficiency beat both district and state by large margins. However, 3rd-grade reading (56.3%) and math (62.5%) lag far behind district and state levels, signaling a need for early intervention. Because cohorts are tiny, scores fluctuate significantly year to year—5th-grade math swung from 100% to 70.6%, and 3rd-grade math from 90.9% to 62.5%—so parents should interpret single-year results with caution.

For parents, the big picture is encouraging but uneven. Despite 74% economic disadvantage, Dungannon Elementary outperforms the state in 4th-, 6th-, and 7th-grade math, 4th- and 6th-grade reading, 5th-grade science, and 4th-grade Virginia Studies. The school also keeps per-student spending at $11,642 with a favorable 9.5:1 student-teacher ratio. The main concerns are early-grade literacy and math, plus chronic absenteeism that remains above the district norm. Overall, this is a school with genuine bright spots in upper grades and social studies, but one where early elementary support and attendance efforts will be key to reversing the gradual state-ranking decline.
