Summary

James G. Brumfield Elementary is a public elementary school in Warrenton, Virginia, serving 514 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Fauquier County Public Schools district, which is ranked 63 out of 129 school districts in the state.

While James G. Brumfield Elementary has seen fluctuating rankings and ratings over the years, it generally lags behind nearby high-performing schools like Greenville Elementary and P.B. Smith Elementary. The school's academic performance, as measured by SOL test scores, is lower than the district and state averages, and it has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to its peers. Additionally, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, is significantly lower than the state average.

Interestingly, James G. Brumfield Elementary has a higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools, but this does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes. The school's challenges may be linked to its relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which is reflected in the school's low-performing student group rankings. While the school's student-teacher ratio is comparable to nearby schools, targeted interventions and improvements may be needed to address the disparities and help the school improve its overall performance.
