Belmont Elementary

Summary:

Belmont Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Woodbridge, Virginia, serving 516 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Prince William County Public Schools district, which is ranked 39 out of 130 school districts in Virginia and has a 4-star rating.

Belmont Elementary has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. While the school's overall student performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests is generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in English Reading and Mathematics, it performs relatively well in certain subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learners, often ranking in the top 25% of Virginia elementary schools for these groups. The school's statewide ranking has been in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools, but its ranking and rating for specific student subgroups are significantly higher.

Interestingly, Belmont Elementary's relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio suggest that the school has access to significant resources and funding, which may contribute to its ability to support its diverse student population. When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Rockledge Elementary, Mary G. Porter Traditional, and Featherstone Elementary, Belmont's performance is generally lower. However, the school's performance is still higher than some other nearby schools, such as R. Dean Kilby Elementary, Potomac View Elementary, and Marumsco Hills Elementary.

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 We had only positive experience with this school. After moving there from a top ranking school in Fairfax county, we were surprised at the high level of education our son received at Belmont Elementary. Teachers and office staff were extremely helpful and attentive to all our needs. The math program is absolutely wonderful there. 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.
