Summary

Grafton Village Elementary is a K–5 school in Falmouth, VA, serving about 737 students as part of Stafford County Public Schools. Grafton is the highest-ranked elementary school in its immediate Falmouth-area cluster, sitting at 502nd out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools (55th percentile, 3 stars) for 2025–26. That puts it ahead of nearby schools like Stafford Elementary and Ferry Farm Elementary, and well ahead of Falmouth Elementary, Rocky Run Elementary, and Spotswood Elementary. The school has been a steady mid-to-upper-mid performer over the past decade, and it rebounded from a 2-star dip in 2024–25. With a 15:1 student-teacher ratio and about 36.6% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Grafton outperforms several nearby schools despite spending less per student than some of them.

The school's biggest academic strengths show up in 5th grade, especially in science and math, where proficiency rates are well above district and state averages. Chronic absenteeism is low at 12.1%, below the state and district rates and far better than several neighboring schools. Grafton also gets strong results with certain student groups — notably African American students, military-connected students, and disabled students, who all improved significantly in recent years.

The main soft spot is 4th grade math, which has trailed the state average for three straight years, along with some inconsistency in early-grade reading. Outcomes also vary by subgroup: low-income students and White students rank below statewide peers, so closing those internal gaps is the biggest opportunity. Overall, Grafton is a solid, well-attended school that performs in the upper half of Virginia elementary schools and is a strong option within its area.
