Established in 2008, Laurel Meadow Elementary School believes in community. Adopting a “whole-child approach,” the school emphasizes building a community that helps prepare students to succeed socially and academically. As a part of the Hanover County Public School District, the Home of the Lions boasts many fun activities that get staff, students, and families involved, such as Boosterthon Fun Run, family fitness night, family dinner and dance, art night, reading night, and the STEM fair. This school regularly engages with families at back-to-school nights, field days, and parent-teacher organized fund-raisers.
Laurel Meadow aims to inspire students to achieve their fullest potential. Serving approximately 550 students in pre-K through fifth grade, students are making average progress from grade to grade; however, this school is placing above the state average in overall test scores. With high test scores, Laurel Meadow is ranked in the top 50 percent of Virginia schools. High test scores may be a result of the school’s Math Workshop that is implemented in grades K-5. This workshop involves small group instruction and differentiated math tasks for students that are appropriate for their level of learning.
