Summary:
The 22304 zip code area of Alexandria, Virginia is home to 4 public schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 middle school, all part of the Alexandria City Public Schools district. These schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 76.59% to 96.5%.
Among the standout schools in this area, Patrick Henry K-8 School stands out with the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 96.5%, yet it also has relatively strong test scores, outperforming the district and state averages in several subject areas. Samuel W. Tucker Elementary also has the highest SchoolDigger rating of 2 stars out of 5 and strong English reading and science test scores compared to the other schools in the area.
Overall, the schools in the 22304 zip code area face significant challenges, with consistently low performance on standardized tests compared to district and state averages, and high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools. Addressing these issues, such as through targeted interventions and support, will be crucial in improving academic outcomes for the students in this economically disadvantaged community.
