Summary

Haycock Elementary is a PK–6 school in Falls Church, VA, serving 838 students within Fairfax County Public Schools, and it currently ranks 5th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools — the 99th percentile — with a 5-star rating for 2025–2026. This is not a one-year fluke: Haycock has finished in the top 7 schools in Virginia for four straight years (ranks 2, 4, 2, and 5 since 2022–23) and has earned 5-star ratings every year since 2015–16. SOL proficiency rates are near-universal, with math ranging from 96.4% to 98.7% across grades 3–6, reading from 94.4% to 98.8%, and 5th-grade science at 96.8%. Every 6th grader taking Algebra I scored proficient, highlighting a strong advanced-math pathway.

Haycock stands out even among an elite cluster of nearby schools. Only Kent Gardens Elementary (#4) ranks higher in the area; other top neighbors include Nottingham Elementary (#8), Tuckahoe Elementary (#17), Discovery Elementary (#35), and Chesterbrook Elementary (#47). Haycock's proficiency rates run roughly 25–30 percentage points above state averages — for example, 5th-grade math is 98.7% proficient versus 66.6% districtwide and 72.4% statewide. Chronic absenteeism is exceptionally low at 2.7%, the lowest among all nearby schools and well below the district's 11.9% and the state's 14.8%. Subgroup outcomes are equally strong: Hispanic, female, and military-connected students each rank 3rd in Virginia, while Asian, male, multi-racial, and disabled students all rank in the top 15 statewide.

What makes these results especially notable? Haycock achieves top-tier outcomes while spending less than most peers — $9,712 per student versus $11,000–$15,800 at nearby schools like Oak Street Elementary School, Mount Daniel Elementary School, Tuckahoe, and Nottingham — and with a larger 17:1 student–teacher ratio. Its free/reduced-price lunch rate is just 4.42%, similar to neighboring high performers, but very different from nearby Westgate Elementary (37.3%) and Shrevewood Elementary (38.0%), which rank much lower academically. Haycock's trajectory is also remarkable: it ranked 59th in 2018–19, jumped to 13th in 2020–21, and has been a top-5 fixture ever since — proof of a rapidly improving, deeply engaged school community.
