Grafton Village Elementary also stands out, with above-average performance and strong reading and math scores that outpace the district and state averages.

The data also reveals significant disparities in student outcomes, with some schools struggling more than others. Chronic absenteeism rates are high across the board, averaging 15.7%, and there is a wide range in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 35.94% at Grafton Village Elementary to 76.45% at Falmouth Elementary. These factors, along with variations in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios, likely contribute to the performance disparities observed across the Stafford County Public Schools district.
