Leesylvania Elementary

Summary:

Leesylvania Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Woodbridge, Virginia, serving 740 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 from SchoolDigger.

Leesylvania Elementary has a relatively diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 16.89% White, 29.86% African American, 28.38% Hispanic, 15.81% Asian, and 8.51% two or more races. This diversity is higher compared to some nearby schools like Neabsco Elementary and Potomac View Elementary, which have higher Hispanic populations and lower Asian populations. Academically, Leesylvania's performance on SOL tests is generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, but the school performs particularly well for African American and Hispanic students, ranking in the top 25% and top 35% of Virginia elementary schools, respectively.

While Leesylvania Elementary's overall ranking has fluctuated over the years, the school serves a population with a higher proportion of students from low-income families, with 49.03% to 55.27% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the school may face unique challenges, and its lower rankings for Asian, multi-racial, and disabled student groups indicate potential areas for improvement. However, Leesylvania's diversity and strong performance for specific student groups are notable strengths that set it apart from some of the nearby schools in the area.

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.
