Summary

Manassas Park Elementary serves 712 students in grades 3 through 5 in Manassas Park, VA. The school is part of Manassas Park City Public Schools and sits at the center of a two-building elementary split, with Cougar Elementary serving grades Pre-K through 2 just 0.12 miles away. Nearly 82% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the school has ranked in the bottom 6% of Virginia elementary schools for the 2025–2026 school year, placing 1,039th out of 1,111 schools statewide.

Test scores trail state averages by 20 to 27 percentage points in most subjects. On the 2025–2026 SOL tests, 3rd grade reading proficiency was just 40.6% compared to the 67.6% state average, and 4th grade math came in at 46.6% versus 73.3% statewide. Nearby schools demonstrate that these results are not inevitable: Signal Hill Elementary, just 1.2 miles away, ranks in the 75th percentile with 85.2% 3rd grade math proficiency, and Pennington Traditional ranks among the top 50 schools in Virginia. Even Weems Elementary, which serves an even higher percentage of students in poverty, posts stronger math scores than Manassas Park in several grade levels.

There are some encouraging signs. Chronic absenteeism has dropped sharply, from 21.8% in 2022–2023 to 10.8% in 2024–2025, now better than both the district and state averages. African American students rank as the school's strongest subgroup relative to their statewide peers, and English Learners also perform comparatively better than other demographic groups. However, attendance improvements have not yet translated into academic gains, and reading remains the most urgent priority, with all three grade levels below 50% proficiency. The success of nearby schools with similar poverty rates suggests meaningful opportunity for improvement ahead.
