The school is part of the Fairfax County Public Schools district, which is ranked 41 out of 130 school districts in Virginia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Virginia Run Elementary has a diverse student population, with significant Hispanic (41.78%) and Asian (10.2%) representation, its academic performance, as measured by SOL (Standards of Learning) test scores, is generally lower than the Fairfax County Public Schools and Virginia state averages across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 72.34%, compared to the district's 71.31% and the state's 70.11%. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 331 out of 1,110 Virginia elementary schools in 2013-2014 (4-star rating) to 787 out of 1,103 in 2020-2021 (1-star rating). The school's current ranking for the 2023-2024 school year is 687 out of 1,114 Virginia elementary schools, with a 2-star rating.

When compared to nearby schools within the Fairfax County Public Schools district, Virginia Run Elementary generally underperforms. For example, Poplar Tree Elementary, located just 3.88 miles away, consistently ranks among the top 10-12 Virginia elementary schools and outperforms Virginia Run Elementary across all academic measures. Additionally, Virginia Run Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (37.82% in 2022-2023), which is higher than some of the nearby schools like Deer Park Elementary (31.39%), suggesting that it serves a more economically disadvantaged student population.

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.

Open Quote Our schools statewide rankings reflect poor test scores due to a high percentage of esl students who naturally struggle with English tests.
Our teachers and staff are wonderful, caring people. Our students are kind and hard-working and genuine.
I feel safe, heard, and comfortable in this close community. Close Quote

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.
