Summary

Freedom Hill Elementary is a public elementary school in Vienna, Virginia, serving 529 students in grades PK-6 and part of the Fairfax County Public Schools district.

While Freedom Hill Elementary has had a mixed performance history, with its statewide ranking fluctuating over the past decade, it faces some challenges compared to nearby schools. Student performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests is generally below the Fairfax County and Virginia state averages across various grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in SOL Mathematics was 57.89% at Freedom Hill, compared to 75.55% in Fairfax County and 72.89% statewide. Freedom Hill Elementary also has relatively high chronic absenteeism rates and a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch than some nearby schools.

However, Freedom Hill Elementary's spending per student, ranging from $10,422 to $12,322 in recent years, is higher than the spending at some nearby schools like Cunningham Park Elementary and Westbriar Elementary. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 12.4 to 13.9 suggests that resources are being allocated to support student learning, despite the performance challenges. Addressing the performance gaps across different student subgroups and improving overall academic outcomes could be areas of focus for the school's improvement efforts.

Freedom Hill is a warm, stimulating, diverse and nurturing school that I am so excited to send my children to. Additionally, FHES and FHES PTA has won 4 grants. 1) Virginia Federal Preschool Development Grant in recognition of our commitment to excellence in early childhood education. 2) A division-level grant from FCPS Region 2 in recognition of our focus on reading instruction. 3)Freedom Hill PTA was awarded two grants from the National PTA. These grants have been utilized to bring STEM/MATH Night as well as a Digital Safety Night to our community. Close Quote

Freedom Hill is an excellent school with terrific teachers and staff and a wonderfully diverse and supportive community. All four of my children have attended Freedom Hill and we couldn't be happier with their experiences at this elementary school. Close Quote

We love Freedom Hill! My 4th grader and 2nd grader have been in the school since they were in kindergarten. The principal is really great and the teachers are wonderful. I am disappointed at the low rating from School Digger because I do not feel that it is accurate. My kids have both qualified for the advanced academic program, and we chose to keep both of them at Freedom Hill because of how nice it is here. The PTA sponsors community-building events throughout the year, and the students seem happy and engaged. The school has a great level of diversity that is unmatched by most other schools. I think both the ethnic and socio-economic diversity contributes to the great environment here. School administration is welcoming and easily accessible to parents. Close Quote

Our granddaughter on the first day of Kindergarten was put on the wrong bus at the end of the day - leaving parents and after school care facility hectically searching. One the first and second day - her teacher didn't put her in the lunch line - which meant she only had Goldfish snacks to eat all day. On the sixth day of school the same teacher again put her on the wrong bus at the end of the day. This is after written instructions to the teacher. Hopefully our granddaughter will be moved out of this potentially dangerous environment into a classroom that has a more responsible teacher. Close Quote
