Summary:
The 22485 zip code area in Virginia is home to three elementary schools: King George Elementary, Sealston Elementary, and Potomac Elementary. While all three schools serve the same geographic area, they exhibit notable differences in their academic performance, student demographics, and resource allocation.

For example, in 3rd grade math, Potomac Elementary had a proficiency rate of 79.82%, compared to 73.09% for the district and 72.89% for the state.
While all three schools share the same chronic absenteeism rate of 15.7%, there are differences in their free/reduced lunch rates and per-student spending. King George Elementary has the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 45.84%, and also the highest per-student spending at $8,791. These factors may contribute to the observed variations in academic performance among the schools.
