Summary

Fannie W. Fitzgerald Elementary is a PK–5 school in Woodbridge, Virginia, serving 829 students as part of Prince William County Public Schools. The school currently ranks 604th of 1,111 elementary schools in Virginia (46th percentile) with a 2-star state rating. The student body is economically diverse, with 71.3% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Chronic absenteeism has improved markedly, dropping from 21.3% in 2022–2023 to 13.0% in 2024–2025 – now better than both the district (13.8%) and state (14.8%) averages. The school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.6 to 1, and per-pupil spending has risen steadily to $10,481.

Academically, the school shows a mixed profile. In 5th-grade math, Fannie W. Fitzgerald exceeds both the district (81.3% vs. 78.3%) and state (72.4%) averages – a standout result. However, 4th-grade math is a persistent weak spot, with 65.2% proficient compared to the district's 76.7%. VA Studies also lags at 68.9% versus the district's 79.3%. The school has shown clear improvement over the last decade, climbing from the 9th percentile in 2015–2016 to the 46th percentile today, and 3rd-grade math (77.1%) and reading scores hover near state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Fannie W. Fitzgerald sits in the lower-middle tier. Within a 2.5-mile radius, Mary G. Porter Traditional (ranked 30th) and John F. Pattie Senior Elementary (ranked 99th) are top performers; Pattie serves a similar poverty population yet outperforms Fannie significantly. Fannie outranks Leesylvania Elementary (627th), Bel Air Elementary (777th), River Oaks Elementary (849th), and Marumsco Hills Elementary (984th). The school delivers strong results for certain student groups – African American students rank in the 84th percentile statewide, a notable strength. However, Asian, disabled, and military-connected students rank below the 15th percentile, indicating an opportunity gap. Fannie spends less per student ($10,481) than most neighbors, yet achieves comparable or better outcomes than several higher-spending schools.

My kids have been going to this school for 4 years. Different children at different ages. Beautiful school on the outside, and when we moved into our neighborhood, we thought the schools would reflect that.

Not so, the first years, were dealing with a outspoken, self centered principal. Next, they brought in a different prinicpal. While she seemed to be better, she is more focused on disciplining my children, not listening to what they say and defending her teachers to the nth degree, even if they are Absolutely wrong. She has requested grant funds for her purposes in the school from the student parent teacher student organization. Hard earned money by the parents and teachers of the school, and just put in the pool of money she uses for her own school purposes.

There is no incentive to learn and pushing the kids to strive, and it is highly disappointing. Leadership starts at the top and trickles down. What I mean by that is that the teachers Close Quote

My son entered this school in kindergarten and is now finishing first grade. He LOVES the staff and teachers and does not want to return to his base school. The education is top-notch and the teachers work very hard to help all children succeed. The office and administration have proven to be very supportive of my child and the family. What a wonderful school! Close Quote
