Summary

Belmont Elementary is a PK–5 school in Woodbridge, VA, serving 492 students as part of Prince William County Public Schools. The school has transformed itself from one of Virginia's lowest-performing elementary schools into a solidly mid-range performer, climbing from the 5th percentile in 2015-16 to a sustained 57th–59th percentile range over the past three years. That's especially notable given that about 71% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch — a poverty profile nearly identical to nearby schools like R. Dean Kilby Elementary, Elizabeth Vaughan Elementary, and Marumsco Hills Elementary, all of which rank far lower.

Belmont's math program is a clear strength. Fourth-grade math proficiency reached 87% in 2025-26, well above the district average of 76.7% and higher than nearby Occoquan Elementary (78.6%), Rockledge Elementary (65.9%), and Potomac View Elementary (80.0%). The school also posts exceptional results for historically underserved students: English Language Learners rank in the 94th percentile statewide (18th of 315 schools), while low-income, African American, and Hispanic students all rank in the 76th–83rd percentile range. Attendance is another bright spot, with chronic absenteeism at 11.4% — below the district (13.8%) and state (14.8%) averages — and the student-teacher ratio of 13.0 is among the lowest in the area.

The main watch item is 5th-grade reading. Proficiency has declined from 85.7% in 2023-24 to 75.8% in 2024-25 and 65.7% in 2025-26, now trailing both district (77.0%) and state (72.4%) averages. Since 3rd- and 4th-grade reading remain near or above district averages, the issue appears concentrated in upper elementary. Per-pupil spending has risen from $9,769 to $13,165 over three years and class sizes have dropped, which may help address the trend. If Belmont can correct its 5th-grade reading slide, it has the momentum to climb well into the upper tier of Virginia elementary schools.

Open Quote We had only positive experience with this school. After moving there from a top ranking school in Fairfax county, we were surprised at the high level of education our son received at Belmont Elementary. Teachers and office staff were extremely helpful and attentive to all our needs. The math program is absolutely wonderful there. Close Quote
