Summary

Fairfax Villa Elementary is a PK-6 public school in Fairfax, VA, serving 514 students as part of Fairfax County Public Schools. The school has earned a 4-star rating and ranks in the 76th percentile statewide (272nd out of 1,111 elementary schools). Its most striking story is a dramatic turnaround: from 2015-2016 through 2018-2019, the school earned just 2 stars and ranked in the 37th to 48th percentiles, but beginning in 2020-2021 it jumped to the 83rd percentile and has remained consistently strong since, earning 4 stars every year.

Fairfax Villa Elementary's test scores in upper grades are especially strong. In 2025-2026, 6th grade math proficiency reached 88% (well above the district's 69.3%), and 6th grade reading hit 90.8% (vs. 80.4% district). The one exception is 3rd grade math, where proficiency was 74.7% — below the district's 78.4% — a gap that has persisted for several years. By 4th grade, however, the school surpasses district averages by wide margins. The school also achieves standout results for students who face additional barriers: low-income students rank in the 82nd percentile statewide, students with disabilities in the 85th, and English learners in the 70th.

Fairfax Villa Elementary serves a more economically diverse population than many nearby schools — 32.1% of students receive free/reduced-price lunch, compared with 12.5% at Waples Mill Elementary and 10.8% at Fairview Elementary — yet it still ranks in the 76th percentile. It trails top-performing neighbors like Waples Mill Elementary (95th percentile), Fairview Elementary (92nd), and Laurel Ridge Elementary (90th), but outranks Bonnie Brae Elementary (60th), Eagle View Elementary (55th), Daniels Run Elementary (51st), and Providence Elementary (42nd). The school also spends more per student ($13,351) and has a lower student-teacher ratio (12.7) than most peers. Chronic absenteeism (12.2%) is slightly above the district average (11.9%) and worth watching. Overall, Fairfax Villa Elementary is a strong, improving school doing well for its diverse student body.
