What stands out at Virginia Hills Early Childhood Resource Center
A combined-grade campus has a different support burden
Virginia Hills Early Childhood Resource Center 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.
Virginia Hills Early Childhood Resource Center is a small combined-grade school in Alexandria, Virginia, enrolling 249 students.
Enrollment of 249 puts it in the smaller third of Virginia schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 99% of the 1,868 Virginia schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Its student body is led by White (74%) and Hispanic or Latino (19%) (diversity index 41/100).
The surrounding Fairfax County Public Schools spends $17,977 per pupil, 23% above the Virginia average, a better-resourced district than most.
Among Alexandria's public schools, it stands alongside Hayfield Secondary (3,256 students): Virginia Hills Early Childhood Resource Center is smaller than that campus by headcount.
Fairfax County Public Schools also operates Lake Braddock Secondary (4,411 students) and Robinson Secondary (3,710 students) alongside Virginia Hills Early Childhood Resource Center.
