Summary

Lyles-Crouch Elementary is a PK–5 elementary school in Alexandria, VA, serving 378 students as part of Alexandria City Public Schools. Despite its district ranking in the 21st percentile statewide, Lyles-Crouch is a clear outlier, ranking 215th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools in 2025-2026 — placing it in the 81st percentile with a 4-star rating.

Among nearby schools, including those in both Alexandria City Public Schools and Fairfax County Public Schools, Lyles-Crouch is the highest-ranked, surpassing Naomi L. Brooks Elementary (340th), Douglas MacArthur Elementary (584th), and George Mason Elementary (705th). The school exceeds both district and state proficiency rates in every tested subject, with standout results including 90% proficiency in 5th-grade science (vs. 68.8% statewide) and 91.1% in 4th-grade reading (vs. 73.7% statewide). Chronic absenteeism is also notably low at 9.1%, compared to 13.8% for the district and 14.8% statewide.

About 22% of Lyles-Crouch students receive free or reduced-price lunch, a much lower rate than nearby schools like Cora Kelly School for Math Science and Technology (82.2%) or Jefferson-Houston Pk-8 School (85.0%). The school also performs well for its low-SES subgroup, ranking in the 81st percentile statewide. Subgroup results are strong across the board: White students rank at the 96th percentile, male students at the 88th, and African American students at the 62nd. Notably, Lyles-Crouch achieves these results while spending about $12,854 per student — less than many nearby schools that perform worse.
