Braddock Elementary

Summary:

Braddock Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Annandale, Virginia, serving grades PK-5 with 855 students. While part of the highly-ranked Fairfax County Public Schools district, Braddock Elementary faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools.

Braddock Elementary has a predominantly Hispanic student population (80.35%), much higher than the 11.49% to 46.61% range at surrounding schools. This racial imbalance appears correlated with the school's consistently low academic performance, ranking in the bottom 20% of Virginia elementary schools, with proficiency rates on state tests well below the Fairfax County and Virginia averages. Additionally, Braddock has an extremely high percentage of students (81.52% to 85.76%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the school serves a lower socioeconomic population.

In contrast, nearby schools like North Springfield Elementary, Mason Crest Elementary, and Canterbury Woods Elementary demonstrate significantly higher academic performance, ranking in the top 50-70% of Virginia elementary schools. This suggests the challenges at Braddock Elementary may require targeted interventions, resource allocation, and community engagement to support student success.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
