Elementary Schools in Franklin County Public Schools

Summary:

The Franklin County Public Schools district in Virginia is home to 12 diverse elementary schools serving students from prekindergarten through 5th grade. While the schools vary in size, demographics, and academic performance, a few standout institutions shine, including Lee M. Waid Elementary, Callaway Elementary, and Snow Creek Elementary.

Lee M. Waid Elementary consistently ranks among the top 25% of elementary schools in Virginia, with impressive test scores that exceed district and state averages in math, reading, and science. Callaway Elementary, a smaller school with just 169 students, also performs exceptionally well, particularly in math and science. Meanwhile, Snow Creek Elementary stands out for its strong reading proficiency, with students scoring well above their peers across the district and state.

While some schools excel, others in the Franklin County Public Schools district struggle to meet state academic standards. Factors beyond just funding and demographics, such as school leadership and instructional practices, appear to play a significant role in shaping student outcomes. As parents explore educational options for their children, understanding the nuances of each school's performance can help them make informed decisions about the best fit for their family.
