Summary

Laurel Ridge Elementary is a PK–6 school in Fairfax County Public Schools serving 835 students in central Fairfax, VA, and currently earns 5 stars with a statewide rank of 107 out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools (90th percentile) for 2025–26. The school has climbed steadily over the past decade, from roughly the 65th–80th percentile in the late 2010s to its current top-10% position, with particularly strong recent gains — moving from rank 305 to 136 to 107 over the past three years. While the district ranks 39th out of 131 Virginia districts, Laurel Ridge performs well above its district's average position.

SOL proficiency rates exceed both district and state averages in all nine grade-level tests. Standouts include 6th grade math at 90% proficient (vs. 69.3% district and 63.2% state) and 4th grade reading at 91.5% (vs. 77.7% district and 73.7% state). Despite its impressive rank, three nearby schools — Canterbury Woods, Fairview, and Terra Centre — all ranked higher in 2025–26. A close comparison with Oak View, just 0.82 miles away with similar enrollment and poverty rates, shows Laurel Ridge outperforming it in nearly every subject: 5th grade math (82.1% vs. 68.8%), 4th grade reading (91.5% vs. 82.7%), and 6th grade math (90.0% vs. 83.7%). Laurel Ridge also spends more per student ($12,993 vs. $10,242).

The school shows exceptional results for certain student groups: disabled students rank in the 92nd percentile statewide and Hispanic students in the 90th. However, meaningful gaps remain — economically disadvantaged students rank at the 60th percentile, military-connected students at the 51st, and Asian students at the 61st. Chronic absenteeism is a strength at 8.7%, below the district (11.9%) and state (14.8%), though not as low as Canterbury Woods' 3.8% or Terra Centre's 7.0%. Overall, Laurel Ridge is a high-performing, improving school in a very strong cluster; its main challenges are narrowing within-school gaps and continuing its upward trajectory to match its top-ranked neighbors.
