Summary:

The 24330 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Fries Elementary, which serves grades PK-7 and has 234 students. Fries Elementary is part of the Grayson County Public Schools district, which is ranked 26 out of 129 districts in Virginia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fries Elementary consistently performs above the Grayson County and Virginia state averages on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests across various grade levels and subjects. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school had a 15.7% chronic absenteeism rate and a 91.88% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating it serves a predominantly low-income student population. With a 9:1 student-teacher ratio, Fries Elementary is a relatively small school that appears to be effectively supporting student learning and achievement.

While Fries Elementary's academic performance remains strong, its statewide SchoolDigger ranking has declined over the past three school years, from 597 out of 1,114 Virginia elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 475 out of 1,110 in 2024-2025. This suggests the school may be facing some challenges that are impacting its relative standing compared to other schools in the state, despite its consistent academic success and support for its students.
