Minnieville Elementary

Summary:

Minnieville Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Woodbridge, Virginia, serving 593 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Prince William County Public Schools district, Minnieville stands out for its diverse student population, strong academic performance, and support for specific student subgroups.

With a higher percentage of Hispanic (45.53%) and African American (30.19%) students compared to the state average, Minnieville's diverse community is a key differentiating factor. Academically, the school consistently outperforms state and district averages in SOL (Standards of Learning) assessments, particularly in Mathematics and English Reading. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Minnieville's 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students scored 80.9%, 74.49%, and 81.91% proficient or better in SOL Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 70.11%, 71.16%, and 67.98%. The school also ranks highly for the academic performance of African American students and English Language Learners, indicating strong support for these populations.

While Minnieville's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 165 out of 1,105 Virginia elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 341 out of 1,114 in 2023-2024, the school continues to outperform nearby schools in the Prince William County Public Schools district. For instance, Minnieville's 3rd-grade Mathematics proficiency rate of 80.9% in 2023-2024 was higher than the rates of Sharon C. McAuliffe Elementary (70.97%), Sonnie Penn Elementary (82.46%), and Enterprise Elementary (66.67%). Additionally, Minnieville's relatively high per-student spending of $9,960 in the 2020-2021 school year and low student-teacher ratio may contribute to its academic 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 Outstanding school for a Title 1 school. Great administration and very professional staff. I know that Minnieville outperforms most schools in Prince William County even with its challenging student population. Kudos to the principal for working with his staff to turn the school around!

Open Quote Overall, Minnieville Elementary School is average. I wish they would step up the writing exercises in all the classroom and present more subject related displays in the classroom and throughout the school. I believe students are safe and secure during school hours. The teachers are mostly knowledgeable and have degrees, but the majority have very short years in teaching experiences. 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.
