History
A village school since at least 1913.
Price's Fork Elementary serves the Prices Fork community west of Blacksburg, a village with a public school since at least the early 1900s. The current pre-kindergarten to grade 5 building on about 20 acres off Price's Fork Road replaced a 1950 school a short distance away, and that older building, now part of the Prices Fork Historic District, has been reused for senior housing, a brewery, a restaurant and a shared kitchen.
The school is named for the Prices Fork community, which takes its name from the Price (Preisch) family, early German settlers whose land lined both sides of the road.
