Summary:
The 22203 zip code in Arlington, Virginia is home to a single public elementary school, Barrett Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 538 students. While the school has a diverse student population, it appears to be underperforming compared to the Arlington County Public Schools district and the state of Virginia as a whole.
Barrett Elementary has a statewide ranking in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools, with a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. The school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with only 45.65% of 3rd graders proficient in mathematics compared to 76.71% for the district and 70.11% for the state. Additionally, a high percentage (74.35%) of Barrett Elementary students receive free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a significant level of economic disadvantage.
However, the school does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.3 to 1, which is generally considered a positive factor for student learning. It would be important to further investigate the factors contributing to Barrett Elementary's performance, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and school leadership, as well as the specific strategies and interventions the school and district are implementing to address the needs of its diverse and economically disadvantaged student population.
