Enrollment and teachers

  • State count: 241 students in fall 2025, compared with 229 in fall 2024 and 230 in fall 2023, according to the School Quality Profile. The state’s count starts at kindergarten, so pre-K students are not included.
  • Federal count: 230 students in the 2023-24 school year, with 20 full-time-equivalent teachers, according to the NCES directory. That works out to about 12 students per teacher.

State report card

Virginia rates schools two ways. Accreditation shows whether a school meets the state’s Standards of Accreditation; a fully accredited school “submitted all required evidence to the Department of Education as prescribed in the Standards of Accreditation,” the profile says. The School Performance and Support Framework gives each school a score and one of four performance levels: Distinguished, Meets Expectations, Approaching Expectations or Needs Intensive Support.

  • Accreditation: Fully Accredited for 2025-26.
  • Framework score: 79.95, performance level Meets Expectations, in the state’s division summary.

Standards of Learning pass rates (share of tested students who passed):

Subject 2023-24 2024-25 2025-26
Reading 45% 54% 53%
Math 37% 42% 46%
Science 41% 47% 35%
History and social science 50% 44% 47%

The full profile also reports attendance, student groups, teacher data and spending.

Look up any address in the division’s Find My School map, or see the 2026-27 boundaries in its Redistricting Locator. Zones do not follow neighborhood or ZIP code lines, so check the address, not the area.

Middle and high school: we laid the division’s 2026-27 elementary, middle and high school boundary layers over the city’s 78,561 address points. All of the St. Helena Elementary zone lies inside the Blair Middle zone.

Its addresses are zoned for Maury High (all) at the high school level. Families on a zone edge should check their own address.

Phase IV of the consolidation plan (2030-34) lists two elementary rebuilds named only as “Suburban Park/St. Helena,” and Berkley ECC’s closure in Phase III depends on “St. Helena upgrades,” the division’s timeline says. Our schools guide follows the consolidation plan.
