Student-teacher ratio in context
How Shrevewood Elementary compares with Virginia and U.S. medians
What stands out at Shrevewood Elementary
Scale and staffing sit near the state mainstream
Shrevewood Elementary is neither an extreme outlier in enrollment nor in student-teacher ratio among Virginia schools. Its profile therefore turns on the other dimensions rather than on scale alone: economic need, counselor coverage, program access, attendance, and district finance. This middle placement is useful because it prevents the campus from being mislabeled as unusually large, small, crowded, or teacher-dense when the federal comparison does not support that claim.
Lower need and stronger resource signals align
Shrevewood Elementary reports lower free-meal eligibility than most Virginia schools and an above-typical Resource Investment Index. The two measures move together, a pattern consistent with the resource advantages that often accompany a lower-need intake. That association should not be mistaken for a causal verdict about the school; it is a transparent description of how this campus sits on two independent federal-data dimensions.
A combined-grade campus has a different support burden
Shrevewood Elementary serves a combined grade span rather than a conventional elementary, middle, or high-school band. That structure can require the same campus to cover transitions, counseling needs, and programs for students at substantially different developmental stages, so a single staffing ratio deserves more caution than it would at a narrower-grade school. Federal totals show the available people and programs, but not how those resources are divided among grade levels.
Shrevewood Elementary is a mid-sized combined-grade school in Falls Church, Virginia, enrolling 579 students.
At 13.5:1, its student-teacher ratio sits close to the Virginia median, within a few percentage points of the 13.9:1 state norm, neither notably crowded nor notably small.
Economic need runs somewhat below the state's typical profile, with 22.3% of students eligible for free meals.
With 579 students, its enrollment sits close to the Virginia median campus size.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the upper third of 1,868 scored Virginia schools.
Against 295 statewide peers matched on enrollment and economic need, it ranks mid-pack at #124.
Its student body is led by White (40%) and Hispanic or Latino (26%) (diversity index 73/100).
Counselor coverage runs a bit thin, about 290 students per counselor, somewhat past the ASCA-recommended 250:1 benchmark.
16.4% of students were chronically absent in the 2021-22 collection, in line with the post-pandemic national range.
