Summary

Grafton Village Elementary is a public elementary school located in Falmouth, Virginia, serving 743 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Stafford County Public Schools district, which is ranked 68 out of 129 districts in the state.

Grafton Village Elementary has shown mixed academic performance compared to state and district averages. While the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Reading are generally on par with or slightly below the Stafford County and Virginia state averages, the performance of specific student subgroups varies significantly. For example, Grafton Village Elementary has seen strong performance from African American and Multi-racial students, ranking in the top half of Virginia elementary schools in recent years. However, White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds have struggled, ranking in the bottom half or bottom quarter of Virginia elementary schools.

Another area of concern for Grafton Village Elementary is its high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10.4% to 20.8% over the past few years. The school's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the nearby Stafford Elementary and Ferry Farm Elementary schools within the Stafford County district, but it outperforms the Fredericksburg City Public Schools district, which includes schools with significantly lower proficiency rates.
