Summary

Keene Mill Elementary is a large public elementary school serving 813 students in grades PK-6 in Springfield, Virginia, part of the Fairfax County Public Schools district, ranking #68 out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools in 2025-2026. The school has held a top-10% statewide ranking for over a decade, and it outperforms both district and state averages in nearly every tested subject and grade level, with particularly strong reading scores. Reading proficiency at Keene Mill ranged from 90.9% in 3rd grade to 94.0% in 4th grade — roughly 18-23 percentage points above the state average in every grade tested, a wider gap than any nearby school.

What makes Keene Mill particularly notable is that it achieves these results with the largest class sizes and lowest per-student spending among 11 nearby elementary schools. With a 16.0 student-teacher ratio and $9,728 per-student spending, Keene Mill far outperforms schools that spend significantly more, like Lynbrook Elementary, which spends over $15,000 per student yet ranks in the bottom 6% of the state. Keene Mill also maintains excellent attendance, with a 7.8% chronic absenteeism rate — roughly half the state average. The school ranks #3 in the state for military-connected students, #15 for African American students, and #15 for multi-racial students, and 100% of 6th graders taking Algebra I passed the state exam.

The main area for parents to watch is math in the upper grades. While early-grade math is strong, 5th grade math proficiency was 70% in 2025-2026, slightly below the state average, and 6th grade math has been volatile. English Language Learner students also saw a recent ranking decline, from the 84th percentile to the 61st percentile. Still, Keene Mill remains the top performer in the West Springfield cluster, outranking nearby West Springfield Elementary, Hunt Valley Elementary, and Ravensworth Elementary. Its consistently strong reading scores, low absenteeism, and efficient use of resources make it an exceptional choice for families.
