Summary

Bonnie Brae Elementary is a public elementary school in Fairfax, Virginia, serving 828 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.

Bonnie Brae Elementary consistently ranks in the top 35% of Virginia elementary schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests is generally above the Fairfax County and Virginia state averages, particularly in mathematics and reading. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Bonnie Brae's 6th-grade students scored 87.91% proficient or better in SOL Mathematics, compared to 69.19% for Fairfax County and 61.99% for Virginia. The school also performs well in certain student subgroups, such as Asian students, African American students, Hispanic students, and English Language Learners. However, Bonnie Brae's performance among its lower-income student population is not as strong, ranking in the bottom 33% of Virginia elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year.

Bonnie Brae's performance is generally on par with or exceeds that of nearby elementary schools in the Fairfax County district, such as Fairview Elementary, Oak View Elementary, and Laurel Ridge Elementary. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rates, while fluctuating, are generally higher than the state average, which could be an area for the school to address and improve.

The school does a great job. It has band and strings programs. It has a computer lab, and each grade goes on field trips. The PTA is involved and does a good job supporting the school. The student body is very diverse with kids from all different backgrounds and nationalities but they all get along well and arrive prepared for the school day. Counselors are available if needed for student needs, whether that is to help them adjust to a new school, deal with problems at home or any other issue. The school is clean, kept under good repair and the staff is motivated. Close Quote
