Summary
Floris Elementary is a PK–6 school in Herndon, VA, serving 666 students as part of Fairfax County Public Schools. In 2025–26, it earned a statewide rank of 170 out of 1,111 elementary schools — putting it in the 85th percentile with a 4-star rating, a strong rebound from the 74th percentile it held the previous two years.
Academically, Floris exceeds district and state averages in every tested grade and subject. In reading, 83–91% of students in grades 3–6 were proficient, compared with 72–80% across the district. In math, 80–89% were proficient, versus 67–78% districtwide. The school's 5th-grade science results are especially notable: 92.6% proficiency, roughly 20 points above the state average and the best among nearby schools like Oak Hill Elementary, Hunters Woods Elementary School for the Arts and Sciences, and Crossfield Elementary. Sixth-graders taking Algebra I posted a 100% pass rate. That said, 4th-grade math (79.6% proficient) lagged behind several peers, including Oak Hill at 95.3% and Hunters Woods at 94.4%.
Floris is also remarkably cost-efficient. At $10,732 per pupil, it spends less than any of the other nearby schools in the comparison set — Oak Hill spends $12,571, and Hutchison Elementary spends $15,579 while producing far lower outcomes. The school's main challenges are attendance and consistency across student groups. Chronic absenteeism ran at 12.8% in 2024–25, above the district average and far above Oak Hill's 4.9%. Subgroup results also vary: White students scored in the 85th percentile, while Asian students were at the 63rd and English Language Learner students at the 46th. For parents, Floris offers excellent academics, strong science instruction, and efficient spending — with room to improve in attendance and in narrowing gaps between student groups.
