Summary

Fairview Elementary is a PK–6 school in Fairfax Station, VA, serving 751 students in the Fairfax County Public Schools district, and it currently ranks 87th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools, putting it in the 92nd percentile statewide with a 5-star rating. That makes Fairview the second-highest-ranked school among its 10 nearby elementary school peers, just behind Cherry Run Elementary and well ahead of the group's average rank of about 212.

Test performance is consistently strong: Fairview exceeded both district and state averages in every tested subject and grade level in 2025–26. For example, 3rd grade math proficiency was 94.2% versus 78.4% for the district and 74.0% for the state, while 5th grade reading reached 94.9% — the highest among nearby schools. Reading is a clear area of excellence, ranging from 86.5% proficiency in 3rd grade to 94.9% in 5th grade. The school also posted a dramatic turnaround in 6th grade math, climbing from 53.7% proficiency in 2022–23 to 81.4% in 2025–26. Chronic absenteeism is low at 7.7%, roughly half the state rate, and about 10.8% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

What makes Fairview especially compelling is how efficiently it achieves these results. It spends $9,853 per student — the lowest among all nearby schools — with a student-teacher ratio of 15.0. Oak View Elementary, just 1.66 miles away, has nearly identical demographics and similar spending, yet Fairview's average proficiency of about 88.3% outpaces Oak View's 81.7%. Bonnie Brae Elementary, only 0.88 miles away, ranks 440th statewide compared with Fairview's 87th. Fairview's subgroup results are broad-based — ranking in the 86th–93rd percentile for male, female, white, Hispanic, low-income, disabled, and military-connected students — with low-income students improving sharply in recent years. While 5th grade math (77.4%) is the lowest subject score and Asian students rank at the 61st percentile, these are areas to monitor rather than warning signs. Fairview's overall trajectory is clearly upward.
