Summary

Mount Eagle Elementary is a small PK-6 school in Alexandria, VA, serving 361 students as part of Fairfax County Public Schools. The school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with 78.7% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite being in a highly regarded district, Mount Eagle has consistently ranked near the bottom of Virginia elementary schools — placing in the 7th percentile statewide in 2025-2026, and never rising above the 11th percentile over the past decade. SOL proficiency rates in 2025-2026 ranged from roughly 43% in 5th grade science to 58% in 3rd grade math, well below both district and state averages in every subject and grade level.

Comparisons with nearby schools highlight significant concerns. Cameron Elementary, just 1.27 miles away, has a higher poverty rate (87.6%) yet substantially outperforms Mount Eagle, with average 3rd–5th grade proficiency around 61% compared to about 49%. Bucknell Elementary, with nearly the same poverty rate, achieves roughly 71% proficiency — nearly 22 points higher. Even Clermont Elementary, a low-poverty school about 1.9 miles away that ranks in the 85th percentile, demonstrates the depth of the local divide: Clermont posts 94% proficiency in 4th grade math and 92% in 4th grade reading, while Mount Eagle scores 46% in both. Mount Eagle does outperform Hybla Valley Elementary and Groveton Elementary in several math categories, but remains firmly in the bottom tier of nearby schools.

There are bright spots worth noting. Chronic absenteeism has fallen dramatically from 18.6% in 2021-2022 to just 7.3% in 2024-2025 — now well below both district (11.9%) and state (14.8%) averages. English Language Learners ranked in the 47th percentile statewide in 2024-2025, a remarkable improvement from the 0th percentile two years earlier. Early-grade test scores have also improved substantially, with 3rd grade math jumping from 20.5% to 58.1% proficiency since 2022-2023. Yet the school spends $15,777 per student — more than several higher-performing nearby schools — without translating that investment into competitive outcomes. The core challenge for Mount Eagle is converting its strong attendance, promising ELL program, and improving early-grade results into consistent gains across all grade levels and subjects.
