Summary

King George Elementary is a PK-5 school in King George County, Virginia, serving 683 students as part of the King George County Public Schools district. The school currently ranks in the 41st percentile of Virginia elementary schools (2 stars), a partial recovery from last year's dip but below its 3-star performance in 2023-2024. KGE serves an economically diverse student body — 66.5% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, nearly double the rate at nearby Sealston Elementary (29.4%) and Potomac Elementary (37.3%).

Academically, KGE shows clear strengths in early grades and science. Third-grade math proficiency (79.1%) and 5th-grade science (75.4%) are the best among all three King George County elementary schools, with 5th-grade science far exceeding the state average of 68.8%. The school struggles more in 4th grade, where reading proficiency (57.0%) and Virginia Studies (59.1%) fall below district and state averages. Chronic absenteeism is a significant concern at 22.1% — the highest in the area and well above the state average of 14.8%. This matters because other schools with similar poverty levels, such as Lee Hill (15.2%) and Cedar Forest (14.0%), have far lower absenteeism.

KGE spends $11,782 per student — substantially more than Sealston ($8,239) and Potomac ($8,638) — yet its overall ranking is only slightly above those schools, raising questions about whether resources are reaching the students who need them most. The school experienced a dramatic 20-point jump in free/reduced lunch eligibility between 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, coinciding with a sharp decline in outcomes for low-income students. By contrast, Hispanic students have performed relatively well (65th percentile), while military-connected students — a notable population given the proximity of Naval Support Facility Dahlgren — ranked at just the 11th percentile. For families considering KGE, the school's strengths in early grades and science are encouraging, but the attendance challenges and 4th-grade dip are worth understanding.
