Summary:
The city of Fork Union, Virginia, is home to a single elementary school, Carysbrook Elementary, which serves grades 3-4 and is part of the Fluvanna County Public Schools district. While Carysbrook Elementary has shown some positive performance on state assessments, it has not consistently ranked among the top schools in Virginia, with its SchoolDigger ranking fluctuating between 499 out of 1,114 Virginia elementary schools in 2023-2024 and 716 out of 1,109 in 2021-2022.
Academically, Carysbrook Elementary's proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Reading for 3rd and 4th grades have generally been on par with or slightly above the district averages, but below the state averages. However, the school's proficiency rate in VA Studies for 4th grade has been above both the district and state averages in recent years. Socioeconomically, Carysbrook Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (43.43% in 2022-2023), indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may impact the school's academic outcomes.
Despite the school's mixed performance, Carysbrook Elementary has maintained a relatively consistent level of academic achievement, and its low student-teacher ratio of 13.4 to 1 suggests a focus on personalized attention. While the school is not a standout in the region, there may be opportunities for improvement, particularly in areas where the school's proficiency rates are below the state averages. With additional context and targeted support, Carysbrook Elementary could potentially enhance its academic outcomes and better serve the students and families of Fork Union.
