Anthony Burns Elementary

Summary:

Anthony Burns Elementary is a public elementary school in Stafford, Virginia, serving 732 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Stafford County Public Schools district, which is ranked 74 out of 130 school districts in Virginia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Anthony Burns Elementary has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 28.42% White, 32.79% African American, 21.45% Hispanic, 8.33% Asian, and 8.47% two or more races, its academic performance, as measured by SOL (Standards of Learning) test scores, is generally lower than the Stafford County and Virginia state averages. For example, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 70.41%, compared to 68.04% for Stafford County and 70.11% for Virginia. This pattern is consistent across multiple grade levels and subject areas, and the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of Virginia elementary schools, earning it a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's struggles are particularly pronounced with its Asian, disabled, and military-connected student populations.

When compared to nearby schools like Garrisonville Elementary and Winding Creek Elementary, which have higher academic performance, higher school rankings, and lower percentages of students from low-income families, Anthony Burns Elementary faces significant challenges. The school's declining performance over the past several years and its high percentage of students (47.13%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch suggest that addressing socioeconomic factors and implementing targeted interventions for struggling student subgroups could be crucial for the school's future improvement.

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.
