Summary

Churchill Road Elementary is a public school in McLean, VA, serving 635 students in grades PK–6 as part of Fairfax County Public Schools. The school is a top performer statewide, currently ranked 7th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools — placing it in the 99th percentile with a 5-star rating. Its excellence is not a one-year fluke: Churchill Road Elementary has ranked 7th, 12th, 12th, and 7th over the past four school years, and has risen dramatically from a rank of 125th in 2018–2019.

Academically, Churchill Road achieves near-universal proficiency on Virginia's SOL tests. In the most recent school year, proficiency rates reached 98.1% in 3rd grade math, 99.1% in 4th grade math, and 97.9% in 6th grade reading — all far above district and state averages. The school even offers Algebra I to 6th graders, with 100% of participating students scoring proficient. Churchill Road also stands out for serving all students well: its English Language Learner students ranked #1 in Virginia, and its students with disabilities ranked 6th statewide. The school sits in an extraordinary cluster of high-performing schools — nearby Kent Gardens Elementary (ranked 4th) and Haycock Elementary (ranked 5th) are among the very best in the state, and Churchill is highly competitive with both, even exceeding them in 4th grade math (99.1% vs. 96.6% and 97.5%).

Churchill Road also excels beyond test scores. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 6.1% is less than half the district rate of 11.9% and well under the state's 14.8%. The school serves a largely economically advantaged community, with only 2.05% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Notably, Churchill Road spends $10,486 per student — less than nearby lower-performing schools like Freedom Hill Elementary ($13,379) and Westgate Elementary ($11,865) — yet produces dramatically better outcomes. This combination of elite academics, strong attendance, and effective use of resources makes Churchill Road one of the most impressive elementary schools in Virginia.
