Summary

Harrison Road Elementary is a public elementary school in Fredericksburg, Virginia, serving 732 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Spotsylvania County Public Schools district, which is ranked 92 out of 129 school districts in the state.

Harrison Road Elementary faces several key challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, lower test scores compared to the district and state averages, and a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.32% to 72.68% over the past few years. This is significantly higher than the rates of nearby schools like Chancellor Elementary (23.01%) and Spotswood Elementary (15.7%). Additionally, Harrison Road Elementary has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.1 to 17, which is higher than the ratios of some nearby schools, such as Wilderness Elementary (15.4) and Salem Elementary (13.8).

The school's consistent underperformance compared to the district and state averages, as well as nearby schools, indicates that it may require additional resources and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Harrison Road Elementary, coupled with its lower academic performance, suggests that the school may need to implement specific strategies to address the needs of this student population.
