Summary

Leesylvania Elementary in Woodbridge, VA, serves 759 students in grades PK-5 and is part of Prince William County Public Schools. The school currently ranks at the 44th percentile among Virginia elementary schools, with about 71% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch. Chronic absenteeism sits at 15.9% — the highest among its nearby comparison schools — though that marks a major improvement from 25.4% two years ago.

Academically, Leesylvania's early-grade reading and math scores are close to state averages, but upper-elementary performance drops sharply. Only 63.25% of 5th graders passed the math SOL, compared to a nearby-school average of roughly 76.7%, and science proficiency was 55.56% versus about 67.3% elsewhere. The school's 44th percentile rank places it below Neabsco Elementary (54th), Dale City Elementary (71st), Featherstone Elementary (59th), Covington-Harper Elementary (64th), and Mary Williams Elementary (52nd), while ranking above Potomac View Elementary (42nd), Swans Creek Elementary (40th), Fannie W. Fitzgerald Elementary (46th), and Marumsco Hills Elementary (11th). A clear strength: 81.52% of 4th graders passed Virginia Studies — well above the state average of 70.52%.

Poverty at Leesylvania has risen sharply, from 55.27% free/reduced lunch eligibility in 2022-2023 to 70.75% in 2024-2025, while state ranking slid from the 62nd to the 44th percentile. However, several nearby schools with similar poverty levels outperform Leesylvania, indicating demographics alone don't explain the gap. Attendance may be the key lever — similar-poverty schools with much lower absenteeism post stronger scores. Per-pupil spending has grown to $11,875 and class sizes improved to 15.5:1, yet results haven't followed. Mary G. Porter Traditional, which ranks at the 97th percentile, has far lower poverty and operates as a grades 1-8 traditional school, making it an outlier rather than a direct comparison. Leesylvania also shows stronger outcomes for English Language Learners and some other student groups than for the school overall.
