Summary

Sudley Elementary is a public magnet elementary school located in Manassas, Virginia, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 610 students. The school is part of the Prince William County Public Schools district, which is ranked 42 out of 129 school districts in Virginia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, Sudley Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 829 and 1057 out of around 1,100 schools. The school has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, indicating below-average performance compared to other Virginia elementary schools. Sudley Elementary's academic performance, as measured by SOL (Standards of Learning) test scores, is significantly lower than the district and state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Sudley Elementary's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 58.21%, compared to 77.82% for the Prince William County district and 72.89% for the state of Virginia.

Additionally, Sudley Elementary has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 11.0% to 20.0% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the typical chronic absenteeism rate of around 15% for the district and state. The school also has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic status backgrounds, with 69.86% to 77.21% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years, much higher than the district and state averages. While Sudley Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.2 to 14.4 students per teacher, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes for the students.
