Better than 24% of Virginia elementary schools

Summary

Anthony Burns Elementary is a K–5 school in Stafford, VA serving 730 students as part of Stafford County Public Schools, where 66.3% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch — a higher poverty rate than most nearby schools, though the school maintains a favorable 14:1 student-teacher ratio.

The school currently holds a 1-star rating, ranking #842 out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools (24th percentile), a decline from last year's 2-star performance. However, Anthony Burns Elementary outperforms nearby schools with even higher poverty rates: it beats Anne E. Moncure Elementary (94.4% FRL) and Kate Waller Barrett Elementary (88.2% FRL) in nearly every subject. Chronic absenteeism is also a bright spot at 13.1% — better than the district's 17.5% and the state's 14.8%. The biggest academic gaps are in 4th-grade Virginia Studies (46.8% proficiency vs. 70.5% statewide) and 5th-grade science (56.1% vs. 68.8% statewide).

There are notable bright spots among student subgroups: multi-racial students rank in the 66th percentile, African American students in the 39th, and English Language Learners jumped from the 20th to 43rd percentile. However, military-connected students (6th percentile), Asian students (9th), Hispanic students (11th), and disabled students (12th) need urgent attention. The school's rankings have fluctuated over the past decade — peaking at #600 in 2021–2022 before dropping back to the mid-800s — suggesting a challenge with sustaining gains rather than steady decline. Right down the road, Margaret Brent Elementary (22.7% FRL) achieves a 78th-percentile ranking with 15–25 point higher proficiency rates in every subject, offering a benchmark for what's possible within the same district.
