Elementary Schools in Rockingham County Public Schools

Summary:

The Rockingham County Public Schools district in Virginia is home to 15 elementary schools serving students from diverse backgrounds. While the district as a whole is ranked 90 out of 130 in the state and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, a few standout schools within the district are consistently performing at a higher level.

Peak View Elementary and Ottobine Elementary are two of the top-performing elementary schools in the district, earning 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger. Peak View leads the district in proficiency rates for mathematics, science, and reading, while Ottobine has the highest proficiency rates in mathematics and VA Studies. Even smaller schools like Fulks Run Elementary, with just 138 students, are outperforming larger schools in the district, with a 93.75% 3rd grade mathematics proficiency rate.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in performance across the Rockingham County Public Schools district. While some schools excel, others, such as Mountain View Elementary and Lacey Spring Elementary, struggle to meet district and state benchmarks. This performance gap appears to be linked to socioeconomic factors, with higher-poverty schools generally underperforming compared to their more affluent counterparts.
