Summary:
The King George County Public Schools district in Virginia is home to three elementary schools: King George Elementary, Sealston Elementary, and Potomac Elementary. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade in the King George County area.
Among the three schools, Potomac Elementary stands out as the top performer. It has the highest statewide ranking, with a ranking of 489 out of 1,110 Virginia elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 683 for King George Elementary and 744 for Sealston Elementary. Potomac Elementary also consistently outperforms the district and state averages in test scores across multiple subjects and grade levels.
While King George Elementary has the highest spending per student at $8,791, it does not have the strongest academic outcomes compared to the other two schools. This suggests that higher spending does not necessarily translate to better performance. Additionally, the data shows that all three schools have the same chronic absenteeism rate of 15.7%, and King George Elementary has the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 45.84%, which may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance.
