Summary

Chris Yung Elementary is a PK–5 public school in Bristow, VA, serving 719 students as part of Prince William County Public Schools. The school currently holds a 2-star rating and ranks in the 43rd percentile of Virginia elementary schools, a steady decline from its 75th-percentile peak in 2021–2022. That drop has coincided with a sharp rise in economic disadvantage: the share of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch jumped from 44.4% to 70.8% in just two years, making Chris Yung one of the higher-poverty schools in the Bristow area.

Compared with nearby schools, Chris Yung stands out for its combination of high need and relatively low spending. Its free/reduced-price lunch rate is nearly identical to Victory Elementary and George G. Tyler Elementary, yet those schools rank in the 73rd and 71st percentiles, respectively. Chris Yung also spends less per student ($10,443) than most high-poverty peers, including Innovation Elementary ($13,968) and C.A. Sinclair Elementary ($12,569). Within the building, a large gender gap has emerged: girls rank in the 57th percentile statewide, while boys rank in the 29th. The school’s strongest subgroup result is for African American students (82nd percentile), but English Language Learners (9th), students with disabilities (17th), and low-income students (24th) are struggling considerably.

Despite the overall decline, there are bright spots. Third-grade math proficiency (81.5%) exceeded the district average and beat several higher-ranked nearby schools, and fifth-grade reading (73.4%) was above the state average. However, the school shows a pronounced “4th grade dip,” with math proficiency falling to 62.9% versus a 76.7% district average. Chronic absenteeism (10.8%) is lower than the district and state, but higher than top performers like Piney Branch Elementary (5.1%) and Cedar Point Elementary (5.6%). Chris Yung is a school in transition, with clear strengths to build on and urgent challenges in the middle grades and for its most vulnerable students.
