About Carrsville Elementary School

Carrsville Elementary School serves the Carrsville community in the southwestern part of Isle of Wight County, Virginia, from a campus on Carrsville Highway (U.S. Route 58). The school grounds sit on land that local historians identify as lying between Union and Confederate lines during Civil War fighting in the area in 1863. Tara W. Outland, a longtime Suffolk Public Schools educator and Carrsville resident, was appointed principal effective July 1, 2023, and the school received a secure entrance vestibule as part of division-wide security upgrades that same year.

Today Carrsville Elementary is a pre-kindergarten through fifth-grade school in Isle of Wight County Public Schools, enrolling about 232 students with 15.5 full-time-equivalent teachers (a student-teacher ratio of roughly 15 to 1) in 2024-2025, and it is classified by NCES as a rural school. It is one of the two elementary schools in the Windsor feeder pattern, sending students on to Georgie D. Tyler Middle School and then Windsor High School. The school's teams and spirit wear go by the Bulldogs, and it was rated Fully Accredited by the Virginia Department of Education for 2025-2026.
