Summary

Frederick Douglass Elementary is a public elementary school in Winchester, Virginia, serving 286 students in grades PK-4. The school is part of the Winchester City Public Schools district, which is ranked 108 out of 129 districts in the state.

Academically, Frederick Douglass Elementary has shown mixed performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 486 out of 1,110 Virginia elementary schools in 2024-2025 (3-star rating) to 831 out of 1,109 in 2021-2022 (1-star rating). The school generally outperforms the district and state averages in mathematics and English reading proficiency, particularly in the upper grades. However, its performance in VA Studies has been more variable. The school has also shown strengths in the performance of specific student subgroups, such as White students and Low Socio-Economic Status students, but has faced challenges with other subgroups, including Hispanic students and English Language Learners.

One significant concern at Frederick Douglass Elementary is the relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, which has ranged from 10.6% to 21.7% in recent years, exceeding the district and state averages. Additionally, the school serves a population with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantages. Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively high per-student spending level and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to some nearby Frederick County Public Schools, suggesting that the effective use of resources may be an area for further exploration.
