Summary

Braddock Elementary is a public magnet elementary school located in Annandale, Virginia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 920 students. It is part of the Fairfax County Public Schools district, which is ranked 45th out of 129 school districts in Virginia.

Despite its location in a relatively affluent area, Braddock Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools over the past several years, with a low rating of 0-2 stars from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests are significantly lower than the Fairfax County and Virginia state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in 5th grade math where the proficiency rate was only 24.49% in 2024-2025, compared to 65.56% for Fairfax County and 71.56% for Virginia. Braddock Elementary also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.8% to 19.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as North Springfield Elementary, Mason Crest Elementary, and Canterbury Woods Elementary, generally outperform Braddock Elementary on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and higher SchoolDigger rankings. These schools also have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Despite spending more per student than the district and state averages, Braddock Elementary's academic outcomes remain poor, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving the school's performance.
