Summary:
The city of Fries, Virginia has a single public school, Fries Elementary, which serves grades PK-7 and is part of the Grayson County Public Schools district. While the district is ranked 34 out of 130 in Virginia and has a 4-star rating, Fries Elementary's performance has been more mixed, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three years.
Fries Elementary's academic performance varies across grade levels and subject areas. In 5th grade, the school's proficiency rates in math (81.08%) and science (78.38%) are significantly higher than the state averages. However, in 3rd grade, the school's math (47.62%) and reading (52.38%) proficiency rates are well below the state averages. The school's high percentage of students (86.56%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch may be a contributing factor to these uneven results, as economic disadvantage is often associated with lower academic achievement.
Despite its challenges, Fries Elementary has some positive attributes, including a low student-teacher ratio of 9.6 and relatively high per-student spending of $9,443. However, these factors do not appear to be translating into consistently strong academic outcomes, as the school's performance is generally below the Grayson County Public Schools district averages and the statewide averages in Virginia. Further investigation into the school's specific strategies and areas for improvement would be necessary to develop a more comprehensive understanding of its performance and potential.
