Cedar Road Elementary has consistently performed exceptionally well, ranking in the top 5% of Virginia elementary schools for several years. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 182 out of 1,110 Virginia elementary schools and received a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance consistently outpaces the district and state averages, with high proficiency rates in subjects like 3rd-grade mathematics (89.22%) and 5th-grade science (78.92%), surpassing the district and state levels. Cedar Road Elementary also demonstrates strong performance across different student subgroups, including female students, male students, Asian students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

While Cedar Road Elementary excels in many areas, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has seen a gradual increase, from 9.4% in 2022-2023 to 15.7% in 2023-2024, which is an area that warrants further attention. Additionally, the school's performance for military-connected students is relatively lower compared to other student subgroups, suggesting a need for targeted support and resources for this population. Nonetheless, Cedar Road Elementary's sustained excellence is a testament to its effective teaching practices, strong leadership, and supportive school community.
