Summary

Freedom Hill Elementary is a PK–6 school in Vienna, VA, serving about 500 students in Fairfax County Public Schools, and it is currently ranked in the 36th percentile (708th of 1,111) of Virginia elementary schools with a 2-star rating. Within the district, Freedom Hill stands out for its student population: 45.4% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, the highest rate among nearby schools and far above neighbors like Wolftrap Elementary (1.5%), Vienna Elementary (7.3%), and Westbriar Elementary (8.9%). This makes Freedom Hill something of a demographic island in an otherwise affluent, high-achieving corridor of Vienna-area schools.

Academically, Freedom Hill trails most of its neighbors by a wide margin. While nearby Wolftrap Elementary, Spring Hill Elementary, Vienna Elementary, Stenwood Elementary, and Westbriar Elementary all rank in the 92nd–99th percentile statewide, Freedom Hill sits at the 36th. The school's results are uneven by grade: 5th-grade math proficiency (73.5%) actually beat the district average (66.6%), but 4th-grade reading (55.6%) and 4th-grade math (58.7%) trail the district by roughly 20 percentage points and are more than 40 points behind Wolftrap. These dramatic swings from grade to grade suggest the school's performance depends heavily on the particular cohort and grade-level team rather than reflecting a stable schoolwide trend.

There are positives worth noting. Chronic absenteeism has fallen sharply from 19.4% in 2022–2023 to just 8.4% in 2024–2025, now below both the district (11.9%) and state (14.8%). The school also spends generously at $13,379 per student and maintains a favorable 12.5:1 student–teacher ratio, smaller than most nearby schools. Students with disabilities perform at the 54th percentile statewide, a genuine strength. The biggest areas of concern are English Language Learners, who ranked in the 5th percentile, and low-income students, who ranked in the 17th percentile. With attendance improving and resources already in place, Freedom Hill has a solid foundation, but closing the gap with its high-performing neighbors will require targeted support for its most vulnerable student groups.

Freedom Hill is a warm, stimulating, diverse and nurturing school that I am so excited to send my children to. Additionally, FHES and FHES PTA has won 4 grants. 1) Virginia Federal Preschool Development Grant in recognition of our commitment to excellence in early childhood education. 2) A division-level grant from FCPS Region 2 in recognition of our focus on reading instruction. 3)Freedom Hill PTA was awarded two grants from the National PTA. These grants have been utilized to bring STEM/MATH Night as well as a Digital Safety Night to our community. Close Quote

Freedom Hill is an excellent school with terrific teachers and staff and a wonderfully diverse and supportive community. All four of my children have attended Freedom Hill and we couldn't be happier with their experiences at this elementary school. Close Quote

We love Freedom Hill! My 4th grader and 2nd grader have been in the school since they were in kindergarten. The principal is really great and the teachers are wonderful. I am disappointed at the low rating from School Digger because I do not feel that it is accurate. My kids have both qualified for the advanced academic program, and we chose to keep both of them at Freedom Hill because of how nice it is here. The PTA sponsors community-building events throughout the year, and the students seem happy and engaged. The school has a great level of diversity that is unmatched by most other schools. I think both the ethnic and socio-economic diversity contributes to the great environment here. School administration is welcoming and easily accessible to parents. Close Quote

Our granddaughter on the first day of Kindergarten was put on the wrong bus at the end of the day - leaving parents and after school care facility hectically searching. One the first and second day - her teacher didn't put her in the lunch line - which meant she only had Goldfish snacks to eat all day. On the sixth day of school the same teacher again put her on the wrong bus at the end of the day. This is after written instructions to the teacher. Hopefully our granddaughter will be moved out of this potentially dangerous environment into a classroom that has a more responsible teacher. Close Quote
