Summary

Samuel L. Gravely Junior Elementary is a large K-5 school in Haymarket, VA, serving 813 students in Prince William County Public Schools, and it ranks among the strongest elementary schools in Virginia — earning a 5-star rating and a #58 statewide ranking (95th percentile) in 2023-2024. Gravely's SOL proficiency rates run 10–20 points above state averages in nearly every subject and grade level. The 5th grade results are especially striking: math and reading both hit 92.8% proficiency, and science reached 92.0% — more than 23 points above the state average. Science is a particular signature strength, climbing steadily from 81.3% in 2022-2023 to 92.0% in 2025-2026. Reading also improves as students move through the school, with proficiency rising from 79.7% in 3rd grade to 92.8% in 5th grade, suggesting students make strong academic progress during their time at Gravely.

Gravely holds its own against a highly competitive cluster of nearby schools. While Loudoun County Public Schools is ranked 18th in Virginia (compared to Prince William's 46th), Gravely's school-level rank of #106 out of 1,111 is higher than most nearby Loudoun schools like Pinebrook Elementary (#167) and Buffalo Trail Elementary (#247). Among its Prince William neighbors, only J.W. Alvey Elementary (#51) ranks higher, while Haymarket Elementary (#110) is nearly identical. Gravely's 5th grade science proficiency also beats most neighbors, including Mountain View Elementary (73.3%) and Hovatter Elementary (86.0%).

Gravely also stands out for exceptional attendance and efficiency. Chronic absenteeism is roughly half the district and state averages — just 7.1% in 2024-2025 compared to 13.8% for the district and 14.8% statewide. The school achieves these results while spending only $9,591 per student, less than nearly every comparable nearby school including George G. Tyler Elementary ($11,762) and Goshen Post Elementary ($14,814), and it maintains a higher student-teacher ratio (18.3) than most neighbors. Gravely has improved dramatically over the past decade, moving from the 63rd percentile in 2016-2017 to the 90th percentile or higher in three of the last four years. While the school shows notable strength for male, Asian, African American, and white students, areas for additional support include multiracial, low-income, disabled, and military-connected students. Overall, Gravely offers an impressive combination of strong academics, low absenteeism, and cost efficiency.
