Best Public Schools in Zip Code 20190


Summary:

The 20190 zip code area in Fairfax County, Virginia is home to two elementary schools: Lake Anne Elementary and Forest Edge Elementary. While both schools have room for improvement, Forest Edge Elementary appears to be the stronger performer, particularly in English reading. However, both schools serve a significant population of students from low-income families, with high free/reduced lunch rates, which may present unique challenges.

Fairfax County Public Schools, the district that oversees these two schools, is ranked 41 out of 130 districts in Virginia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Lake Anne Elementary is ranked 910 out of 1,114 Virginia elementary schools and has a 1-star rating, while Forest Edge Elementary is ranked 637 and has a 2-star rating. The racial makeup of the two schools varies, with Lake Anne having a higher percentage of Hispanic students and Forest Edge having a more balanced racial distribution.

Test scores at both schools tend to lag behind the Fairfax County and Virginia averages, particularly in mathematics and science. However, Forest Edge Elementary outperforms Lake Anne in several test score categories, especially in English reading. The per-student spending at Lake Anne is slightly higher than Forest Edge, but this does not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes. Addressing the unique needs and challenges faced by the significant population of students from low-income families at these schools could be a key focus for the district.
