Summary

Sharon C. McAuliffe Elementary is a public magnet elementary school serving grades K-5 in Woodbridge, Virginia, with a student population of 393. 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.

While Sharon C. McAuliffe Elementary has shown mixed performance on state assessments, with lower proficiency rates in mathematics and reading but higher proficiency rates in science and Virginia Studies compared to district and state averages, the school has demonstrated strong performance for certain student subgroups, particularly African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students. However, the school's performance for White, Male, and Disabled student subgroups has been more average, ranking in the middle 50% of Virginia elementary schools. Additionally, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.1% to 20% in recent years, which is higher than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby magnet elementary schools in the district, such as A. Henderson Elementary, Sonnie Penn Elementary, and Minnieville Elementary, Sharon C. McAuliffe Elementary's performance is generally on par or slightly below. However, the school lags behind higher-performing schools like Ashland Elementary, which consistently ranks in the top 10-15% of Virginia elementary schools. Despite these challenges, the school's relatively high per-student spending of around $10,000 and low student-teacher ratio of around 13-14 students per teacher suggest that it is receiving additional resources to support its diverse student population.
