Summary

Rosa Parks Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Woodbridge, Virginia, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 617. 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 Rosa Parks Elementary has a relatively diverse student population, with significant percentages of African American, Hispanic, and Asian students, its academic performance has consistently ranked in the middle to lower range of Virginia elementary schools, typically between 400-700 out of over 1,100 schools. The school's performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics and science. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 74.16% compared to the district's 77.82% and the state's 72.89%. Additionally, Rosa Parks has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 9% to 20% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Ashland Elementary, Coles Elementary, and Thurgood Marshall Elementary consistently outperform Rosa Parks on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates on SOL tests and higher statewide rankings. These schools also have lower rates of chronic absenteeism and a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students. Despite the relatively high spending per student at Rosa Parks, the school's academic outcomes are not commensurate with the level of funding, suggesting potential opportunities for improvement in resource allocation and instructional practices.
