Summary

Coles Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Manassas, Virginia, serving 413 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Prince William County Public Schools district, Coles Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Virginia, with a statewide ranking as high as 36 out of 1,114 schools in the 2022-2023 school year.

Coles Elementary's students demonstrate exceptional academic achievement, with proficiency rates in SOL (Standards of Learning) tests that consistently exceed the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Coles Elementary's 3rd-grade students achieved 82.54% proficiency in Mathematics, compared to 77.82% for the district and 72.89% for the state. The school's performance is particularly noteworthy for its White and English Language Learner (ELL) student subgroups, which consistently rank among the top in the state.

While Coles Elementary's overall performance is impressive, the school's ranking for students with disabilities (183rd out of 355 Virginia elementary schools in 2023-2024) suggests an opportunity for improvement in supporting this student subgroup. Additionally, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.7% in the 2023-2024 school year to 19.3% in the 2022-2023 school year, which warrants further investigation and targeted interventions.
