Summary

Ravensworth Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Springfield, Virginia, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 566. It is part of the Fairfax County Public Schools district, which is ranked 45 out of 129 school districts in Virginia.

Ravensworth Elementary consistently outperforms the Fairfax County and Virginia state averages in standardized test scores, particularly in mathematics and reading. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Ravensworth's 3rd-grade mathematics proficiency rate was 86.9%, compared to 75.55% for Fairfax County and 72.89% for Virginia. The school's performance is also strong in other areas, with 5th-grade students achieving a 90.54% reading proficiency rate, significantly higher than the Fairfax County (75.53%) and Virginia (71.95%) averages. Ravensworth's student subgroups, including female, male, Hispanic, and white students, also demonstrate impressive academic performance.

While Ravensworth Elementary's overall performance is excellent, there are a few areas that could be targeted for improvement. The school's ranking and performance for Asian students is relatively low, and the chronic absenteeism rate, while still lower than the state average, has been increasing over the past few years. Additionally, the school's proximity to other high-performing schools in the area, such as Keene Mill Elementary and West Springfield Elementary, suggests a strong educational environment in the surrounding community.

My son attends this school and receives special education. The professionals at this school are both caring and well suited to take care of my son and we have been lucky to have been placed here even though its not the closest school. The Vice Principle has been fabulous to work with and he is very involved. The school is in the middle of renovations as well and they are doing a great job of keeping a safe and friendly environment while under construction. Close Quote

I don't know why the average is 2 stars...I LOVE THIS SCHOOL. The principal, Mrs. Salata is AWESOME. The Vice Principal, Mr. Paper, is also great; they are both very hands on with both the students and the parents. I have loved all of my sons' teachers. Both of my sons have IEP's and I am very happy with the education, approach and services offered by the school. Parents can be as active as they would like through multiple volunteer opportunities. Lastly, there are pepole who MOVE to this school district because of Ravensworth's SPANISH IMMERSION education opportunity where children are taught in Spanish to "immerse" them in the language. I believe families who choose this education track have to apply to be accepted into it, and their children are taught 1/2 in Spanish and 1/2 in English. If my boys weren't special ed, I would have LOVED to sign them up for this. All in all, Ravensworth is a GREAT school. My children had attended two other schools before Ravensworth but Ravensworth is my favorite. :) Close Quote
