Summary

Claremont Immersion is a public magnet elementary school in Arlington County Public Schools, serving 622 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school consistently performs above state and district averages on standardized tests, particularly for its White student population, which ranks in the top 10% of Virginia elementary schools in mathematics and reading.

However, Claremont Immersion faces some challenges, including a rise in chronic absenteeism rates and an increasing percentage of economically disadvantaged students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the school outperforms nearby schools like Barcroft Elementary and Dr. Charles R. Drew Elementary, it is outperformed by the Montessori Public School of Arlington, another magnet school in the district, which has higher test scores and a lower chronic absenteeism rate.

Over time, Claremont Immersion's statewide ranking has fluctuated, and its performance for specific student subgroups has also shown some variability. The school's per-student spending has remained relatively consistent, in line with the Arlington County Public Schools district average.
