Summary

Bel Air Elementary is a small PK–5 school in Woodbridge, Virginia, serving 391 students in Prince William County Public Schools. The school serves a high-needs population — about 70.6% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch — and per-pupil spending is relatively high at $14,813. Chronic absenteeism is a bright spot: at 12.6%, it's better than both the district (13.8%) and state (14.8%) averages.

Academically, Bel Air sits in the lower tier of a generally strong cluster of schools. It ranks in the 30th percentile statewide (777th out of 1,111 elementary schools), while several nearby schools rank much higher, including A. Henderson Elementary, Minnieville Elementary, Dale City Elementary, and Kerrydale Elementary. Test scores trail district averages in nearly every subject and grade, with the widest gaps in 5th grade math (58.6% proficient vs. 78.3% district) and 5th grade science (53.5% vs. 72.2% district). Notably, the school spends more per student than some higher-performing neighbors, yet outcomes remain lower — suggesting instructional effectiveness, not just funding, is driving the differences.

There are encouraging signs worth noting. Bel Air performs relatively well for specific student groups compared to same-group students statewide: African American students rank in the 71st percentile, English learners in the 67th, and disabled students in the 61st. The school's strongest subject is 4th grade Virginia Studies (74.2%), which beats the state average. Poverty doesn't fully explain the gap — nearby Minnieville Elementary and Dale City Elementary have nearly identical free/reduced-price lunch rates but rank in the 67th–74th percentile. The biggest opportunities for Bel Air lie in upper-elementary math and science, stabilizing 3rd grade reading and math, and translating subgroup strengths into broader schoolwide gains.
