About Mount Vernon Elementary School

Mount Vernon Elementary School opened in October 1978 in Yorktown, Virginia, originally serving grades 1-6, with its administrative office completed in January 1979. The building was initially constructed without a cafeteria; students were served from a small room known as a scullery, with food cooked at a neighboring school and transported in warming bins, and ate in their classrooms. A second classroom wing was added in 1987. The school is part of York County Public Schools and today serves students in prekindergarten through grade 5.

The school sits at 310 Mt. Vernon Drive in the suburban York County community near Yorktown, in the 23693 ZIP code on the Virginia Peninsula. NCES classifies its setting as 'Suburban, Large.' It is one of several elementary schools in the York County School Division serving the greater Tabb and Grafton areas.
