Summary

Hunt Valley Elementary is a PK–6 school in Springfield, Virginia, serving 735 students as part of Fairfax County Public Schools. Despite a slight dip in its state ranking in 2025–2026, the school remains a strong performer: it ranked 146th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools (87th percentile, 4 stars). Only 11.7% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and chronic absenteeism is notably low at 5.9% — less than half the district rate of 11.9% and far below the state's 14.8%.

Hunt Valley's SOL results exceeded district and state averages in every tested grade and subject in 2025–2026. Standouts include 6th-grade math (90.1% proficient) and 6th-grade reading (92.2%), both well above state averages. The school also posts strong results across student subgroups: male students ranked in the 90th percentile statewide, African American students in the 88th percentile, and English Language Learners in the 94th percentile in 2024–2025. All of this comes at a reasonable cost — per-pupil spending of $11,571 is below several nearby schools that perform worse, and the student–teacher ratio of 14.7:1 is moderate.

Among nearby schools, Hunt Valley ranks 6th in the local cluster, essentially tied with West Springfield Elementary and Orange Hunt Elementary, and well ahead of schools like Cardinal Forest Elementary and Saratoga Elementary. Sangster Elementary remains the standout in the area with a near-perfect ranking while spending less per pupil. The one area worth watching is 5th-grade math, which dropped to 73.3% proficiency in 2025–2026 after several stronger years; military-connected students also saw a dip from the 86th to 52nd percentile, though subgroup sizes fluctuate year to year. On balance, Hunt Valley remains a solid, efficient, well-above-average choice for families.
