Best Public Schools in Zip Code 22041

Summary:

The 22041 zip code area in Fairfax County, Virginia is home to three elementary schools: Glen Forest Elementary, Bailey's Elementary School for the Arts and Sciences, and Belvedere Elementary. While the schools share the same geographic area, their academic performance and student demographics vary significantly.

Of the three, Belvedere Elementary stands out as the top performer, ranking 360 out of 1,114 Virginia elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Belvedere significantly outperforms the Fairfax County and Virginia averages on state standardized tests, especially in math and reading. In contrast, Glen Forest Elementary appears to be the weakest performer, ranking in the bottom 10% of Virginia elementary schools with much lower test scores compared to the county and state.

The disparities in academic performance seem to be closely tied to the schools' socioeconomic profiles. Belvedere Elementary has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate at 49.92%, while Glen Forest Elementary has the highest at 87.2%. This suggests that addressing inequities in resources and support for economically disadvantaged students could be key to improving outcomes at the lower-performing schools in the 22041 area.
