Summary:
Zip code 24290 is home to just one school: Weber City Elementary in Weber City, Virginia, serving grades PK–6 with an enrollment of 380 students as part of the Scott County Public Schools district. Because there are no middle or high schools in this zip code, families transition to schools outside the area after 6th grade, making Weber City Elementary the sole educational anchor for the community.
Weber City Elementary is a high-performing, 5-star school ranked 33rd out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools for 2025–2026 — the 97th percentile and a dramatic jump of 119 spots from the prior year. The school far exceeds both its district and state averages in nearly every subject. Math is a major strength, with proficiency ranging from 88% to 98% across grades 3–6; 5th grade math hit 98% compared to the state average of 72.39%. The school also posted a perfect 100% proficiency rate in 4th grade Virginia Studies in 2025–2026, and 5th grade science reached 90% versus the state's 68.75%. Reading scores are strong as well, with 4th and 6th grade reading at 94% and 95% respectively, both well above state averages.
Perhaps most impressive, Weber City Elementary achieves these results while serving a student body with 75.79% free/reduced lunch eligibility, a common indicator of economic disadvantage. The school's student–teacher ratio is 14.3, and per-student spending is $8,122. Chronic absenteeism sits at 12.0% — better than the state's 14.8% but slightly higher than the district's 10.5%. The one relative weak spot is 3rd grade reading, which at 77.78% in 2025–2026 is above state and district averages but lags the school's own upper-grade reading scores; the prior year it actually came in below the district average. Overall, Weber City Elementary is an exceptional school with strong upward momentum, and the main areas to watch are early literacy and absenteeism.
