Summary

Elizabeth Vaughan Elementary is a public magnet elementary school located in Woodbridge, Virginia, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 577. It 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 part of a relatively high-performing district, Elizabeth Vaughan Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Virginia elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school struggles across various student subgroups, with its proficiency rates in Mathematics, Science, and English Reading significantly lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.3% to 20.0% over the past few years.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Featherstone Elementary, Potomac View Elementary, and Occoquan Elementary, generally outperform Elizabeth Vaughan Elementary across various metrics, including statewide rankings, test scores, and student group performance. However, the school's spending per student and student-teacher ratio are comparable to the nearby schools and the district average, suggesting that factors beyond funding and class size may be contributing to the school's underperformance.

It's a shame to see Vaughan continually get worse each year. Enrollment has increased each year,the student/teacher ratio continue to increase and then you see test score averages drop and statewide performance drop. I have three kids, one just finished Vaughan, one son going into the 4th grade and one starting kindergarten soon at this school.

I've had issues with the lack of communication from school staff, lack of professionalism from staff and certain teachers, poor management from the front office. They've replaced the principle and assistant principle just recently, however so far I've seen little to no improvement.

They need an overhaul the management there, focus on accountability for some of these teachers, and stop making excuses. Just to clarify, there are several excellent..excellent teachers there that care for the kids, however there are also some bad apples. Close Quote
