Summary:

Fauquier County Public Schools operates 11 elementary schools in Virginia serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 4,737 students, and while the district ranks 56th out of 131 Virginia school districts, individual schools vary dramatically from C. Hunter Ritchie Elementary ranking 141st in the state to W.G. Coleman Elementary ranking 860th.

C. Hunter Ritchie Elementary and Greenville Elementary are the district's top performers, both earning 4-star ratings. C. Hunter Ritchie leads the district with the highest reading scores at every grade level, 95.4% 4th grade math proficiency, and the lowest chronic absenteeism at 6.5%. Greenville posts the highest 3rd and 5th grade math scores and the lowest free/reduced-price lunch rate at 11.6%. At the other end, W.G. Coleman Elementary dropped from 618th to 860th in one year, with 5th grade reading falling 23.3 points, and P.B. Smith Elementary fell from a 4-star to 3-star rating. James G. Brumfield Elementary and Grace Miller Elementary showed notable improvement this year.

The data reveal that higher spending does not guarantee better results. C.M. Bradley Elementary spends the most per student ($14,759) with the smallest class sizes but ranks only 562nd, while C. Hunter Ritchie spends the least ($11,025) and ranks 141st. Chronic absenteeism and poverty correlate with lower performance, though Claude Thompson Elementary, with the district's highest poverty rate at 75.2%, still outperforms several wealthier schools. Science is a district-wide weakness, with 5th grade science proficiency averaging 64.6%, below the state average of 68.8%. Parents should also note that grade-level scores can be volatile year to year due to small cohorts.
