Summary

Weyanoke Elementary is a public elementary school in Alexandria, Virginia, serving 562 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Fairfax County Public Schools district, which is ranked 45th out of 129 school districts in the state.

Weyanoke Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Virginia elementary schools, with significantly lower proficiency rates on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests compared to the Fairfax County and Virginia state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in mathematics and reading range from 40-50%, while the district and state averages are 65-76% and 67-73%, respectively. The school's performance on SOL tests has also been declining over the past several years. Weyanoke has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 84.88% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, and a diverse student population with significant percentages of African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students.

Weyanoke's academic performance is significantly lower than the nearby Lynbrook Elementary, Mason Crest Elementary, and Belvedere Elementary schools in the Fairfax County Public Schools district, as well as the William Ramsay Elementary and Samuel W. Tucker Elementary schools in the Alexandria City Public Schools district. Addressing the school's high chronic absenteeism rate and providing additional resources and support for its economically disadvantaged and English Language Learner students could be key focus areas for improvement.

my daughter is in 3rd grade!!! The school called me yesterday about my daughter handed out money to her classmates, they found out bc this is $100 ok, I did give her permission about going to my purse to get $1 here $1 there for her to buy stickers or snack at the school.. anyway after school call I looked into my purse and realized $300 missing, I talked to my daughter about it, told her it's a lots of money that she took out from my purse and ask her why she did that? why she gave money out to them kids? she finnally broke down and told me those kids been bullying her for the last 3 months, they called her names made fun of her ( my daughter is overweight ) She thinking if give them money they will leave her alone...I went to school after she told me the story of being bullying and how many kids she gave the money to!! school called those parents and discover all the money that she gave to them... but I have to wait the next day to come back and get it back bc almost time to close hour.
This morning I took my daughter to the office and talked to school about the bullying, I want her to be safe and happy at school, then I found out from school that my daughter lies about how she have that big amount of money, very disappointed of her and will have a long talks when I'm home from work today..the principle called and told me that my daughter told her and the other 2 workers there that no one bullying her! and ask me to solve this problem with my daughter at home.. I believed the principle and will do what she told me to do with my daughter, but can't wait till I get home so I called to talk to my daughter on the phone at home and asked her did she say that to them at the school? she said to me no she never said that, she told them many time only 2 boys bullying her and her counselor already take care of that and the boys apologize to her!! very good job the counselor solve the problem ( the 2 stars I rate for her) now I wonder why the principle lie to me about the whole situation??? she tried to protect her own people's? she think my daughter lie about where she got the $$ and blamed everything on her??
I called the principle back and asked her again that Sydney really told them that? and did she make a talk to them bullying kids? she told me because of what Sydney told them they don't need to do anything further !! what kind of the principle like this??? what is really wrong with her??? how can she run the school when she is a damn lier herself???
My daughter not a lier the money she gave to those 4 kids $110 was the money her grandma gave it to her for x-mas which she told them!! the 300$ bill are mine which she took it in my purse!!.. my daughter is only 9,she just a kid how can u blame on her for the whole thing?? the school in the process of getting a new principle!!! can't wait for this one to leave so this school have better leader and will have high rate to be a top school with 5 stars!!!! thanks for reading and understand my point!!!
