Summary

Little Run Elementary is a small PK-6 school in Fairfax, VA, serving just 264 students as part of Fairfax County Public Schools. With about 30% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch, the school serves a more economically mixed population than many of its neighbors. Little Run currently ranks 373rd out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools — a solid mid-tier result reflected in its 3-star rating — though nearby schools like Wakefield Forest Elementary, Canterbury Woods Elementary, and Mantua Elementary all rank higher.

Where Little Run truly shines is in the upper grades. While 3rd- and 4th-grade test scores hover around district averages, 5th- and 6th-grade students post outstanding results. In 6th-grade math, 91.67% of Little Run students scored proficient — beating Mantua Elementary (82.76%), Wakefield Forest Elementary (82.28%), Oak View Elementary (83.70%), and Olde Creek Elementary (71.43%). Fifth-grade science is another highlight, with 89.47% proficient. The school also earned an exceptional distinction for its students with disabilities, ranking 13th out of 420 Virginia schools in that subgroup — a remarkable jump from the 41st percentile just two years earlier.

Little Run's resource profile sets it apart. At $18,979 per pupil, it spends far more than nearby schools like Laurel Ridge Elementary ($12,993), Mantua Elementary ($11,381), and Wakefield Forest Elementary ($11,215). Its student-teacher ratio of 8.7 is also dramatically lower than the 15-16 typical at neighboring schools. Despite that advantage, the school hasn't cracked the top tier of local rankings — a reminder that outcomes depend on much more than budget. Chronic absenteeism, though, is a clear win: at 9.6%, it remains below both the district (11.9%) and state (14.8%) averages, a pattern that has held for three consecutive years.
