The 24282 zip code is home to a single standout public elementary school, St. Charles Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 and is part of the Lee County Public Schools district. Despite facing socioeconomic challenges, with 84% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, St. Charles Elementary has consistently outperformed the district and state averages in academic assessments, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

St. Charles Elementary has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 597 out of 1,109 Virginia elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 127 out of 1,114 in 2023-2024. The school's 4th-grade mathematics proficiency rate of 90% in 2023-2024 significantly exceeds the district and state averages of 75.82% and 71.16%, respectively. With a low student-teacher ratio of 10.4 to 1, the school appears to be effectively supporting student learning and achievement.

While St. Charles Elementary serves a predominantly white student population, the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students suggests the need for additional resources and support to address the unique challenges faced by the school community.
