Summary

Mantua Elementary is a PK–6 school serving 909 students in Fairfax County Public Schools, located in the highly regarded Fairfax, Virginia area. The school currently ranks #36 out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools, placing it in the 97th percentile statewide — and it's the top-ranked school among its immediate neighborhood peers.

Mantua's academic results are consistently outstanding across every grade and subject. On the most recent SOL tests, the school exceeded district and state proficiency rates in all tested areas, with 5th grade math at 90.1% proficiency, 5th grade science at 95.1%, and 6th grade reading at 96.0%. Across all grades, Mantua averages roughly 89% proficiency in math and 92% in reading, compared with district averages of 73% and 77%. While some nearby schools like Wakefield Forest Elementary and Canterbury Woods Elementary also post strong scores, none match Mantua's combination of strength across every grade and subject. The school's rank has climbed steadily from #119 in 2022–23 to #36 today.

What truly sets Mantua apart is its success with students who often face greater challenges. The school ranks in the top 3% statewide for students with disabilities and in the 84th percentile for low-income students, showing that its high achievement isn't limited to any one group. Mantua also has remarkably low chronic absenteeism at 6.0%, less than half the district rate of 11.9%. And it achieves all this efficiently — spending $11,381 per student, far less than nearby schools like Little Run Elementary ($18,979), yet with dramatically stronger results. For parents seeking a school where strong academics, inclusive support, and a positive attendance culture come together, Mantua stands out even in a competitive county.
