The 22302 zip code area of Alexandria, Virginia is home to 4 schools - 3 elementary schools (Douglas MacArthur Elementary, Charles Barrett Elementary, and George Mason Elementary) and 1 high school (Alexandria City High School). The data reveals a mix of performance, with the elementary schools generally outperforming the high school on standardized tests, but also highlights areas for improvement across the district.
Among the elementary schools, George Mason Elementary stands out with consistently high SOL test scores, a strong 4-year graduation rate, and a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to its peers. Douglas MacArthur Elementary also performs well, with strong math and science scores and higher 4-year graduation rates in reading.

Across the district, chronic absenteeism rates are higher than the state average, and per-student spending varies, with no clear correlation to academic performance. The schools in the 22302 zip code generally perform below the Alexandria City Public Schools district and state averages on standardized tests, indicating that the local area may face unique challenges that require targeted interventions and support.
