Summary

Centre Ridge Elementary is a public elementary school in Centreville, Virginia, serving 658 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Fairfax County Public Schools district.

While Centre Ridge Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools, with below-average performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests compared to Fairfax County and Virginia state averages, the school faces some unique challenges. It has a relatively high percentage of students from disadvantaged backgrounds, with 64.29% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's diverse student population includes significant percentages of Asian, Hispanic, and White students, and their academic performance varies, with White students generally outperforming their peers. Additionally, Centre Ridge Elementary has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 9.7% to 19.3% in recent years, which is significantly higher than district and state averages.

Interestingly, nearby schools within the Fairfax County Public Schools district, such as Virginia Run Elementary, Cub Run Elementary, and Centreville Elementary, generally outperform Centre Ridge Elementary on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates on SOL tests and lower rates of free/reduced-price lunch recipients and chronic absenteeism. While Centre Ridge's spending per student is higher than the state average, it is lower than some of these nearby schools, suggesting that targeted interventions and resource allocation may be necessary to support the school's improvement efforts.

Thursday, September 22, 2011

My daughter is in Kindergarten this year and I love the school so far. They teach a lot more than just school curriculum, and the RAMS really is an incentive for the kids to do better always. 3 stars in my opinion is not fair enough. Super clean, very organized and a great staff give me piece of mind that my daughter is in a good school. Close Quote
