Summary

Abingdon Elementary is a public elementary school in Arlington, Virginia, serving 717 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Arlington County Public Schools district, which is ranked 28 out of 129 school districts in the state.

Academically, Abingdon Elementary's performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests is generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 49.29% of 3rd-grade students at Abingdon were proficient or better in SOL Mathematics, compared to 79.17% for the Arlington County Public Schools district and 72.89% for the state of Virginia. The school also experiences relatively high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 13.2% to 19.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, the nearby Oakridge Elementary, Barcroft Elementary, and Dr. Charles R. Drew Elementary schools generally perform better than Abingdon on academic measures, suggesting that Abingdon may face unique challenges or circumstances that contribute to its relatively lower performance. By addressing these challenges, such as supporting the diverse student population and addressing high poverty and chronic absenteeism, Abingdon may be able to improve its academic outcomes and provide a more equitable education for all students.

The worst school ever. Principal doesn't care about kids. There is bullying issue, kissing issue at school. Principal is a joke and only is interested in her teachers. No room parents. Will discourage you from lunch and recess. PTA president is like a high schooler who keeps it only to her friends. Give other parents all useless work.. very bad school un monitored recess.. I would never put my kids Close Quote

Abingdon has a fantastic partnership with the Kennedy Center. There is a wonderful focus on the arts--music, drama, art. Every fourth grader learns to play the violin. Students have architecture classes. The teachers are caring and supportive. Joanne Uyeda, the principal is excellent. My children love going to school at Abingdon! Close Quote
