Summary

Suella G. Ellis Elementary is a PreK–5 school in Manassas, Virginia, serving 403 students as part of Prince William County Public Schools. The school currently ranks in the 15th percentile statewide—941st out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools—earning a one-star rating, and serves a high-need population with 71.2% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Test scores lag both district and state averages in every subject and grade. For example, 3rd grade reading proficiency sits at 45.5% versus 72.8% for the district and 67.6% statewide. The gap is also visible when compared to nearby schools. C.A. Sinclair Elementary, just a few miles away, ranks in the 49th percentile despite spending about $3,000 less per student, and Pennington Traditional—less than two miles away—ranks in the 96th percentile with 3rd grade reading proficiency of 83.1%. Even schools with similar poverty levels, such as George P. Mullen Elementary and Innovation Elementary, outperform Suella by substantial margins.

There are bright spots worth noting. Chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 28.3% in 2021–22 to just 9.9% in 2024–25, now below both district and state averages. English language learners also stand out, ranking in the 42nd percentile statewide. However, Suella spends $15,557 per pupil—the highest among nearby schools—yet results do not reflect that investment. Test scores are also highly volatile from year to year, with 4th grade math swinging from 75.4% to 35.6% to 63.9% over three years, suggesting that outcomes depend heavily on the specific cohort of students in each grade.
