Fauquier County Public Schools

Summary:

The Fauquier County Public Schools district in Virginia consists of 18 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 3 high schools, serving a diverse student population across varying socioeconomic backgrounds.

The district's performance is mixed, with standout schools like Kettle Run High School and Fauquier High School ranking among the top high schools in Virginia and earning 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger. These high-performing schools demonstrate strong test scores, with over 90% proficiency in several subject areas. In contrast, some elementary schools, such as Mary Walter Elementary and H.M. Pearson Elementary, have significantly lower proficiency rates, particularly in math and reading, suggesting potential achievement gaps within the district.

Additionally, the middle schools in the district show a wider range of performance, with Auburn Middle School ranking much higher than W.C. Taylor Middle, indicating potential differences in curriculum, teaching quality, or other factors impacting middle school outcomes.
