Summary

Dumfries Elementary is a public magnet elementary school located in Dumfries, Virginia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 467 students. The school is part of the Prince William County Public Schools district, which is ranked 42 out of 129 school districts in Virginia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being a magnet school, Dumfries Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average compared to other schools in the state. The school's student performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in mathematics. Dumfries Elementary also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10.7% to 20.0% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, while Dumfries Elementary's overall performance is low, the school performs relatively well for its African American students, ranking in the top 33 out of 579 Virginia elementary schools for this subgroup in 2024-2025. However, the school's performance for Hispanic students and English Language Learners is still below the district and state averages. Compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as John F. Pattie Senior Elementary, Dumfries Elementary consistently underperforms, despite having a relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio.
