Summary

Laurel Ridge Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Fairfax, Virginia, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 804 students. As part of the Fairfax County Public Schools district, Laurel Ridge consistently ranks among the top 25% of Virginia elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Laurel Ridge's students significantly outperform the Fairfax County and Virginia state averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Laurel Ridge's 3rd-grade students scored 85.25% proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 75.55% for Fairfax County and 72.89% for Virginia.

While Laurel Ridge's academic performance is consistently stronger than the nearby schools, such as Canterbury Woods Elementary and Fairview Elementary, the school has experienced a gradual increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 10.1% in 2023-2024 to 19.3% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district and state averages. This trend is worth monitoring and addressing, as high chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes.
