Better than 18% of Virginia elementary schools

Summary

Randolph Elementary is a public elementary school in Arlington, Virginia, serving 396 students in grades PK-5. While part of the highly-ranked Arlington County Public Schools district, Randolph Elementary has consistently performed below average, ranking in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools over the past several years with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Randolph Elementary's academic performance, as measured by SOL test scores, is significantly lower than the district and state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 75.38% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in SOL Mathematics, compared to 79.17% for the Arlington district and 72.89% for Virginia. The school also has high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 13.2% to 19.3% over the past few years, which likely contributes to its lower academic performance.

When compared to nearby schools in the Arlington district, such as Claremont Immersion and Montessori Public School of Arlington, Randolph Elementary generally performs worse academically, with lower test scores and rankings. This may be due in part to Randolph's higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranging from 70.2% to 80.19% over the past few years, which research has shown can impact educational outcomes.
