Summary

Claremont Immersion is a public elementary school in Arlington, VA, serving 595 students in grades PK–5 as part of Arlington County Public Schools. The school has climbed from the bottom third of Virginia elementary schools a decade ago to the top quarter: it now ranks 259th out of 1,111 schools statewide (77th percentile, 4 stars). In the most recent testing year, Claremont exceeded both the district and state averages in every subject and grade, with especially strong results in Virginia Studies (94.7% proficient) and 5th-grade science (80.9%).

Compared with nearby schools, Claremont stands out for efficiency and strong subject-area performance. It leads the local cluster in science and Virginia Studies, outpacing Campbell Elementary and Montessori Public School of Arlington. The spending contrast is striking: Claremont spends about $13,378 per student with a 14.5:1 student-teacher ratio, while lower-performing neighbors like Dr. Charles R. Drew Elementary spend $22,001 per student with a 10:1 ratio and Barcroft Elementary spends $18,503. Despite fewer resources per student, Claremont dramatically outperforms most of these schools, suggesting that program and practices matter as much as funding.

Attendance is also solid: the chronic absenteeism rate is 10.7%, below the district's 12.1% and the state's 14.8%. Claremont serves White and Hispanic students very well relative to the state, and outcomes for economically disadvantaged students have improved sharply. The clearest area of concern is students with disabilities, whose results are comparatively weaker. Overall, Claremont Immersion is a strong, improving school that delivers excellent academic results with efficient resource use. For families considering it, the school offers proven immersion programming, top-tier outcomes in several subjects, and a clear upward trajectory — with room to grow in supporting students with disabilities.
