Lake Anne Elementary

Summary:

Lake Anne Elementary is a public magnet elementary school located in Reston, Virginia, serving around 600 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Fairfax County Public Schools district, which is ranked 41 out of 130 school districts in Virginia.

While Lake Anne Elementary has a diverse student population, with 32.83% White, 14.17% African American, 38.33% Hispanic, and 6.17% Asian students, the school has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking over the years, dropping from a high of 330 out of 1,110 Virginia elementary schools in 2013-2014 to a low of 910 out of 1,114 in 2023-2024. This decline is in contrast to the nearby schools, such as Clearview Elementary, Herndon Elementary, and Terraset Elementary, which have generally maintained or improved their rankings over the same period. Additionally, Lake Anne Elementary's rankings for specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students of low socioeconomic status, are particularly low, often in the bottom 10-20% of Virginia elementary schools.

The school's academic performance is also a concern, with proficiency rates on the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) assessments consistently lower than the Fairfax County Public Schools and Virginia state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in mathematics and English reading. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Lake Anne Elementary, ranging from 40.33% to 42.45% in recent years, may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges. Overall, the analysis of Lake Anne Elementary's data reveals a concerning trend of declining performance and significant disparities in student subgroup outcomes, which warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to improve 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.

Open Quote Our child was neglected on 3 occasions during his first 2 weeks! He was 9 y old back then. We moved in the Reston area in the middle of the school year. I have met teachers and they seemed nice. But in reality... I paid for his lunch at that very first day, but our son got no food for the whole first week. Bus driver was careless when he didn't bring our boy back home, at the office they just simply forgot to call me to tell that our child was lost in the school. And at last on one of his days in school he got headache. Nurse were keep sending our son back to classroom without addressing the issue, until he threw up in the corridor on the way back to the classroom, nobody cared about his complains till that moment. Principle did call with apologies, but I'm so happy that we bought a house in another school area! The worse experience in our life was over! If you care about your child - don't send it to Lake Anne Elementary School! Close Quote

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.
