Callaway Elementary is part of the Franklin County Public Schools district, which is ranked 38 out of 130 districts in Virginia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Callaway Elementary is a high-performing school that consistently exceeds district and state averages on state standardized tests (SOL) across various subjects and grade levels. The school has seen a steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from the 490th position in 2021-2022 to the 186th position in 2023-2024, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite serving a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (76.33%), Callaway Elementary is able to achieve exceptional academic results. The school's racial composition, however, is not fully representative of the broader community, with a predominantly White student population (81.66%), and smaller percentages of Hispanic (8.88%) and African American (1.18%) students. This could be an area for further investigation and potential initiatives to promote greater diversity and inclusion.
