Summary:
The 20110 zip code area is home to 12 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 1 high school, spread across two school districts - Manassas City Public Schools and Prince William County Public Schools. While the area has a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, the data reveals stark differences in outcomes between the two districts.
The top-performing schools in the area are Pennington Traditional, a public magnet elementary school in the Prince William County district that ranks 53rd out of 1,114 Virginia elementary schools, and Bennett Elementary, another high-ranking elementary school in the same district. In contrast, the schools in the Manassas City Public Schools district, such as Osbourn High and Grace E. Metz Middle, have significantly lower test scores and rankings.
The data suggests that socioeconomic factors play a significant role in the performance of these schools. The Manassas City Public Schools have much higher free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 62% to 75%, compared to the Prince William County schools, which range from 28% to 62%. Additionally, the Manassas City district spends more per student, but this higher spending does not translate to better outcomes, raising questions about resource allocation and utilization within the district.
