Summary

Deer Park Elementary is a public elementary school in Centreville, Virginia, serving 553 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 Virginia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Deer Park Elementary faces several academic challenges. Its students' performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests is generally lower than the Fairfax County and Virginia state averages across various grade levels and subjects, particularly in English Reading. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 69.57%, compared to 75.55% for Fairfax County and 72.89% for Virginia. Deer Park Elementary also has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.8% to 19.3% in recent years, which can negatively impact student learning.

Compared to nearby schools in the Fairfax County Public Schools district, such as Centreville Elementary, Poplar Tree Elementary, and Cub Run Elementary, Deer Park Elementary's academic performance is generally lower, with these nearby schools having higher SOL test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and better overall rankings. Despite Deer Park Elementary's relatively high per-student spending of $13,926 in the 2020-2021 school year, the school's performance suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as teaching quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's challenges.

The school has declined significantly and use to be a top rated school. We ultimately had to pull our children because of systematic failure and place them in private school at considerable expense and hardship to my family. This school fights to not implement IEPs by providing questionable testing, testing results and testing conclusions. These results are easily refuted by outside testing by professionals but ignored by the Deerpark IEP panel. You will get the "your child is average" and no services warranted. But you know better as a parent. Good luck. Close Quote

Need to pay attention to the needs of each individual student and not be so focused on getting parent volunteers that are invading the class room. Close Quote
