Summary

Hybla Valley Elementary is a large PK–6 school in Alexandria, VA, serving 878 students in the Fairfax County Public Schools district — a top-tier district where the school itself unfortunately ranks near the very bottom of Virginia's elementary schools.

In 2025–2026, Hybla Valley ranked 1,050 out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools (5th percentile), the lowest among all nearby schools. Nearly every student (99.09%) qualifies for free/reduced lunch, the highest rate in the area. Test proficiency averages about 47% across SOL math, reading, and science — well below the district's ~75% and state's ~71%. For example, 4th grade math proficiency is 42.97% versus 78.74% districtwide, and 5th grade reading is 44.34% versus 76.54%. Nearby schools with similar poverty levels do somewhat better: Mount Vernon Woods Elementary (97.63% FRL) ranks in the 8th percentile, and Bucknell Elementary (79.62% FRL) ranks in the 38th percentile with a per-pupil spend of $19,403 compared to Hybla Valley's $13,489.

There are some encouraging signs. Chronic absenteeism fell from 29.7% in 2021–2022 to 16.9% in 2024–2025, and average SOL proficiency rose from roughly 43% to 47% in recent years. However, the school's state ranking actually fell from the 9th percentile to the 5th percentile over the same period, meaning other schools are improving faster. Pre-pandemic, Hybla Valley ranked around the 18th–25th percentile, so the school has not yet recovered from the pandemic's impact. With a student-teacher ratio of 14.0 and per-pupil spending that doesn't match the high level of need, Hybla Valley would likely benefit from substantially more targeted support.

Open Quote The school never gives proper notification to parents about the students. The teachers do not care about the students only contact the parents when the problem has gotten way out of hand (half way through the school year) Close Quote
