Summary:
The city of Fort Belvoir, Virginia is home to two elementary schools that serve students from kindergarten through 6th grade. Based on the available data, the schools in this area appear to be relatively average-performing compared to the broader Fairfax County Public Schools district and the state of Virginia.
Fort Belvoir Elementary and Fort Belvoir Upper Elementary both have diverse student populations, with Fort Belvoir Elementary being the more racially/ethnically diverse of the two. However, both schools consistently underperform the district and state averages on standardized test scores, particularly in mathematics and English reading. The schools' strongest performance is in 6th grade English reading, where Fort Belvoir Upper Elementary exceeds the Fairfax County average.
In terms of resources, the two schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios compared to the district and state, but differ in their per-student spending, with Fort Belvoir Elementary spending $1,390 more per student than Fort Belvoir Upper Elementary. This suggests potential differences in resource allocation strategies within the district. Overall, the data indicates that while the schools in Fort Belvoir are not clear standouts, there are opportunities for improvement in academic outcomes and better serving the needs of their student populations.
