Summary

Leesburg Elementary is a public elementary school in Leesburg, Virginia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 423 students. It is part of the Loudoun County Public Schools district, which is ranked 19 out of 129 school districts in Virginia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a highly-ranked district, Leesburg Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools, with a ranking between 534 and 780 out of 1,100-1,114 schools over the past 5 years. The school's SchoolDigger rating has been low, ranging from 1 to 3 stars out of 5 during this period. Leesburg Elementary struggles with the performance of certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 50% of Virginia elementary schools for Hispanic students and English Language Learners, as well as the bottom 10% for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's proficiency rates on the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) assessments are consistently lower than the Loudoun County Public Schools district and the state of Virginia averages across various subjects and grade levels.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Loudoun County Public Schools district, such as Belmont Station Elementary, Newton-Lee Elementary, and Seldens Landing Elementary, generally outperform Leesburg Elementary on key metrics like statewide ranking, test scores, and student group performance. Additionally, Leesburg Elementary has a higher per-student spending and a higher student-teacher ratio compared to these nearby schools, suggesting that the school may face challenges in effectively supporting its student population.
