Summary

Falmouth Elementary is a public elementary school serving 726 students in grades K-5 in Falmouth, Virginia. The school is part of the Stafford County Public Schools district, which is ranked 68 out of 129 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Falmouth Elementary faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, lower-than-average test scores across various subjects and grade levels, and struggles with the performance of certain student subgroups. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate of 66.42% was lower than the district (70.07%) and state (72.89%) averages. Additionally, Falmouth Elementary ranked in the bottom 25% of Virginia elementary schools for the performance of Asian, African American, Hispanic, White, multi-racial, English Language Learner, low socioeconomic status, and military-connected students.

However, Falmouth Elementary's proximity to several other elementary schools, such as Rocky Run Elementary, Ferry Farm Elementary, and Grafton Village Elementary, suggests opportunities for collaboration and resource-sharing. These nearby schools have performed better on key metrics, which could provide valuable insights for Falmouth Elementary to improve its outcomes.
