Summary

Little Run Elementary is a public elementary school in Fairfax, Virginia, serving 277 students in grades PK-6. It is part of the Fairfax County Public Schools district, which is ranked 45 out of 129 school districts in the state.

Little Run Elementary consistently performs above the state average in SOL (Standards of Learning) assessments for Mathematics and English Reading across all grade levels. In 2024-2025, the school's 5th-grade students achieved 82.5% proficiency in SOL English Reading, significantly higher than the Mantua Elementary (75.53%) and Virginia (71.95%) averages. However, the school's performance for students with disabilities and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds lags behind, ranking in the bottom 40% and 60% of Virginia elementary schools, respectively.

While Little Run Elementary generally outperforms the nearby schools in SOL assessments, Wakefield Forest Elementary and Mantua Elementary, both within a 2-mile radius, consistently rank among the top 10% of Virginia elementary schools and significantly outperform Little Run Elementary in several metrics. Additionally, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.6% in 2021-2022 to 19.3% in 2022-2023, which warrants further investigation and targeted interventions.
