Cave Spring Elementary

Cave Spring Elementary School is situated on 10.86 acres of land in the Southwest section of Roanoke County. The attendance boundaries extend one mile north, one-half mile south, one-half mile east, and one and one-half mile west.

The school enjoys a strong growing community with excellent PTA support. The school believes in good communication and a strong partnership between home and school.

The original building, first occupied in January 1962, consisted of 20 classrooms, a library, a kitchen and a cafeteria. In 1971, a gymnasium was completed, and in 1987, a kindergarten wing was added to the school plant. In 1994, a new library was added to the school offering a computerized checkout system and networked computers. In the fall of 2010 renovations and additions were completed including an administrative wing, front entrance, art and music rooms; cafeteria and kitchen; and a state of the art geothermal heating and air conditioning system throughout the school. All existing classrooms received new flooring, counter tops and storage added.  Each classroom is equipped with an ActivPanel and additional ancillary technology devices.  Beginning with the 2021-22 school year, elementary students will each have access to a laptop at school.   

Currently, the enrollment of Cave Spring Elementary School is approximately 500 students in grades PK-5. The staff consists of 25 classroom teachers and 16 resource personnel in the following areas:  Library/media, reading resource, physical education, special education, guidance, music and art. The teacher/student ratio is approximately 23/1. Cave Spring Elementary School is a performance-based school with both self-contained and semi-departmentalized classes. Our students will attend Hidden Valley and Cave Spring Middle Schools, which feed into Hidden Valley and Cave Spring High Schools.
